With the population ratio that you have, you might
want to try aggresively recruiting farmers. They will
bring kids with them, but usually at around an even
ratio, which will improve the ratio of food growers to
eaters overall. Just make sure to recruit in late
earth season, dark season, or early storm season, so
the recruits will likely show up by planting time.
(and then remember to clear more fields). Another 50
or so farmers could make a big difference. As an
emergency measure, especially if you have a good
stockpile of goods, convert a bunch of your crafters
back to farmers for a while. These two steps should
have an immediate impact, giving time for other steps
to take effect.
