Phosphorus running out

The reason behind the incredible increase in food production across the planet is dependent on fertilizers. The problem is that phosphorus are running out, reserves only found in Morocco and China are diminishing rapidly as the demand is increasing.
How do find any good news here!? Maybe that the phosphorus is creating pollution and eutrophication in our oceans and lakes, so I decrease in the use could be good news for the environment (but bad for starving people....)
