Overpopulation__Is_It_An_Issue_

Overpopulation: Is It An Issue' An Issue' The current population of the world is over 6.1 billion people. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise another billion. Never in the recorded history of Earth has the population amount climbed so high, so is there any need for alarm' The facts point to no. There is more than enough food, land area, and natural resources to go around, which will be made clear in the following. For starters, there is enough food in the world to feed everyone (and millions more) very well for the rest of their lives. Malnutrition in some countries is due mainly to poverty, not lack of food. The food has been and will always be available for those who can afford it. As the amount of people living here rises, more food can be produced to feed them without a great deal of strain, using the acres upon acres of cultivatable land that even now remain untouched. Land area is another factor of which Earth has an abundance. In fact, as of 2002 there is about 45m squared of useful land available per person. food, world, resources, land, area, population, oil, need, natural, enough, wood, rise, recorded, people, over, now, lives, live, history, feed, fact, even, earth, countries, coal, billion, been, available, around, another, amount, alarm, acres, years, year
