Green Revolution

was during Malthus’ lifetime; yet because of expanding agricultural technology and advancements in global medical care and general socioeconomic well-being, there have been no dramatic population checks, on a relative scale, since the Industrial Revolution. Therefore, while Malthus’ theory has been the catalyst for most all subsequent study of population (e.g., Darwinism, Neo-Malthusianism), in its totality, it is unfit to fully describe modern population dynamics as our current productive…

What is a sustainable number of persons on the Earth? What basic human rights should be ensured to every man, woman, and child, and how can these rights be ensured without a redistribution of wealth? Currently there are more than 6 billion people living in the world and this number is expected to double in a short period of time. Many researchers and theorists feel that the world does not have a carrying capacity for this amount of people. Overpopulation is a major issue that people are facing…

Question 1 Summarize the “vicious circle of agriculture” and “human-plant entanglements,” and their role in how archaeologists approach the origins of food production, sedentary lifeways, and social complexity. When there are conflicts in the world, the food insecurity significantly gets increased and if the world population is food insecure, the conflicts hardly could be prevented. This entire process unfortunately becomes a vicious circle of agriculture. Human-plant entanglements are often…

According to study the population of the world is increasing at the rate of approximately 2.5% annually. Population explosion hampers both saving and invests.

Planet Earth is becoming smaller every year. As the human population grows exponentially in size and the planet’s resources are already depleted, it is estimated that, by 2050, all of the planet’s surface will be covered with either large cities or industrial facilities. As the need for geographical space and resources is becoming increasingly critical, some people argue that we should stop protecting wilderness areas and should utilize them for economic growth. Assuredly, these areas contain a…

Over the recent years, we have really seen how extensive consequences of overpopulation can be. Animals go extinct, while people starve and live in unhealthy environments. With a population now at about 7 billion people (in 2011), the UN expects, the population to grow even more with one estimate predicting the population will grow till about 16 billion by 2100. Can this really be true, despite those atrocious costs? According to a video clip, from the BBC about overpopulation, planet earth…

While the world population is constantly increasing, the lack of arable land and climate change makes it more difficult to produce enough food for human being. In the year 2009, the world population had a number of 6.8 billion and by the year 2050, the world population will increase by 2.1 billion and reach 9.1 billion. The world population will grow by over a third, or 2.3 billion people, between 2009 and 2050. Market demand for food is projected to reach 3 billion tons by 2050, up from today’s…

According to World Meters (2018), the population of the world is about 7.6 billion. In addition, “world population to hit 9.8 billion by 2050” (UN News 2017). There are a few reasons why the world's population is growing so rapidly. People are living longer than at any other point in history, because of advances in healthcare, nutrition and access to food. Although, overpopulation means people can live longer because of modern medical technology improvements, it may also causes many issues such…

Population control is any method that is used to control the type and number of people. Over the past few years there has been a slight increase in world population. Overpopulation has always been a concern (Watson). Many people fear that there will not be enough resources to support the human population.
