People in poorer countries tend to have a lot of children partly because many of them don't survive until adulthood. Much of this is caused by lack of running hot and cold water, smoke-filled living accomodation, poor or non-existant medical infrastructure.
This can be improved by making poor people richer, giving them clean water and power to cook, heat and light their homes. This will give them more time for education that will persuade them that fewer children are actually necessary.
As their conditions improve their children will live longer until they nearly all grow into adults. At which point, the world's population will stabilize.
We could be trying to make this happen now with some of the $billion a day spent on climate change but we would rather spend it on already rich people so they can install wind turbines and solar panels or the stock broking and hedge fund classes can start trading in a new imaginary commodity like carbon credits where the dealers will be the main beneficiaries.
Try to work as an individual country producing only the foodstuffs required for each individual nation, in an effort to decrease the wasteful "food mountain" syndrome. Allow nations to follow their own instincts based on their own perceptions and abilities of how, what, where and when to grow/produce such foodstuffs as they are individually capable of.
The global market only works for those countries with the infrastructure to mobilise the movement of foreign "exotic" products, which of itself creates a non sustainable gap in the food chain, where less able nations are poorly recompensed for whatever they contribute, and the richer nations stockpile products that they cannot effectively use.
Whether or not Macdonalds are available, we all should be aware that as a world species, we do not all have the same capacity to either consume, or produce the same product, the same dietary needs or the same preference the world over.
Bangers and mash is fine in Great Britain, and we have potatoes and pigs to ensure its' efficacy, whereas an Amazonian ville who currently supplies green mangoes to the residents of Amsterdam, has no way of sustaining traditional lifestyles without mangoes (of whatever hue), pigs and potatoes, even though they exchange goods for cash.
We have to remember, a dog will only scratch when it has an itch...
Increase CO2. Increase global warming. Replace 3rd world tyrannical dictators and warlords with capitalist democratic elected governments. End the stupid food to fuel ethanol BS.
we need universal health care and less people. in my opinion in todays society in the United States there is no reason to have more than 2 kids the population will decrease because of premature death in some cases and we will have more resources. universal health care would mean that people in countries like rural India who have 8 kids because they expect 6 of them to die of disease could instead just have 2 because the odds of those 2 surviving are greater there will be less of a need for food because of a reduced population. I believe that most environmental problems today boil down to too many people using too much per person.
Increase CO2, it helps plants (food crops) grow bigger faster, using less water, and being more resistant to disease and pests.
Already worldwide vegetation is increasing (even taking deforestation into account) up to 14% in some places.
family planning. im not saying GENOCIDE just encourage people to plan their families. don't have 10 kids when you literally cant feed them. educate mothers and women everywhere. increase literacy.
