Production per acre of farmland has increased massively and is still increasing. The size of forests in developed countries has increased substantially.
At the same time the rate of population growth has decreased and is projected to go negative within a few decades.
Sure, lots of things are still getting worse, but "getting worse more slowly" is progress. No reason to get complacent but in my opinion doom sayers do more harm than good by promulgating the nihilistic philosophy that we're all doomed anyways, so fighting our problems doesn't do any good.
