We could just stop using it... no need for a technological fix.

Or we just go for organic farming, since it's not using artifical fertilizer and actually keeps the soil alive, which in return has various positive effects on the enviroment. If we keep going like we did since the last decades there will be death for sure

That's absolutely not true. Chemical fertalizer just makes it so less hands need to grow food.

We absolutely do not need it. We've grown crops for tens of thousands of years without them.

Famines are social problems, not technical ones.
