The usual comment is that magical boosts in Glorantha to fertility and agriculture are roughly cancelled out by the higher death rate from magical disasters and monsters.
A more detailed population model would probably show a different age distribution from what we're used to, with fewer deaths in the first year of life and more among adults.
