First, population is leveling off, not booming.
Second, yes, by definition regenerative agriculture is scalable.
It might require as much as double the labor requirements (so 3% of the population rather than 1.5%) but it's likely that automation will amortize that.
See "How is China able to provide enough food to feed over 1B people?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20537409 which describes some aspects of China's agriculture that are regenerative.
Also, I recommend Toby Hemenway's "Redesigning Civilization with Permaculture" talk for background and future directions.

Geoff Lawton's "Greening the Desert" project converted salty desert to producing figs and other food in just two years.

Just to mention one (gross) example: It's a little-known fact that Eisenia fetida worms will devour "night soil" (#2's) and produce clean-smelling castings, while doubling in biomass in approximately 40-50 days. This could easily be scaled to handle urban sewage densities, returning that matter directly to the ecosystem without expensive treatment/chemicals etc.
