Malthus may still some day be proven right. It's a common fallacy to think that because something hasn't happened yet is a reassurance that it will never happen.
Don't forget there are a lot of people that have little or no food at all (according to statistics about 1/7th of the world is malnourished). We're really, really spoiled in the West ("plenty of food").
Earth is already a scary place. And it will still be scary place in 2050. Even scarier for those at the bottom of the social order, and probably slightly happier for those at the top.
