I can't see wars being fought over food. The problem will be cheap energy. With enough cheap energy you should be able to grow all the food you want hydroponically with desalinated or recycled water pumped to where ever you wish. But to be honest, I think the next war will be religion vs technology. When it becomes possible to extend the human life indefinitely, and build super intelligent computers, and create new lifeforms. It will be the people who think it is wrong to play god who go to war against the people who want to play god.
