Agriculture and Population Growth

Agriculture and population growth There is an annual increase of 90 million people in the planet, but we still need 9 billion people to feed and feed (Mitchell, 1998). As the population grows, more people on the planet will live longer. The prosperity of the world population is consistent with the improvement of world health and productivity. Today 's population lives longer than before, eating more, producing more and consuming more (Eberstadt, 1995).

This study examines the relationship between growth of agriculture and population growth rate in countries of the world. In particular, this white paper will clarify the difference between population growth and agricultural growth in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Oceania. This paper first reviews existing literature relating to the scarcity of Malthus and agricultural production theory. It continues to develop a theoretical framework, and I think population growth is growing faster than agricultural production. I have examined this hypothesis by analyzing agricultural production, population growth, and economic development data of all countries from 1981 to 2008. This paper summarizes the result of the return to agricultural production and the necessity of future research.

The area of ​​land specialized for agriculture plays a central role in determining the agricultural production of the country. However, as the population growth rate continues, the increase in urbanization can pose a threat to agricultural production. Further research needs to focus on relationships between population density, land conversion rate and agricultural production. There is no doubt that technology will be an important factor in determining agricultural production. Future research will need to consider whether countries with low agricultural productivity should invest in better technology to improve food production capacity (Boongarts, 1996). Only when worldwide cooperation has increased to promote more sustainable agricultural practices it is not until the current crop production to avoid providing the necessary Malthus disaster to the estimated 9 billion world population in 2050 Can be doubled.
