The World Population Increases The Global Food Production
Literature Review
Several studies (Oltjen et al., 1996; Dahlen et al., 2014; Thornton, 2010; and Tilman et al., 2002)
drawn the conclusion that as the world population increases the global food production must as well.
The current meat practices in the U.S are unsustainable in terms of being able to meet the future
demands of global society (Dahlen et al., 2014). Although livestock practices have changed
dramatically over time to make production more efficient it has negative impacts on the
environment and human health. Fortunately sustainable solutions do exist. Others livestock farmers
around the world are implementing sustainable practice that improve the quality of meat and
decrease their impacts on the environment.

In the next forty years food production will need to increase by one hundred percent if it is going to
meet the demands of global society (Dahlen et al., 2014). The reproduction of livestock has
undergone evolutionary changes over time all in favor of making production more efficient.
Artificial insemination (AI), estrous synchronization and fixed–time AI (TAI), semen and embryo
cryopreservation, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), in vitro fertilization, sex
determination of sperm or embryos, and nuclear transfer are technologies that are used to enhance
the production efficiency of beef operations (Dahlen et al., 2014). These are some of the newer
technologies that have been generated to increase meat production. Food provides energy and
nutrients, and its acquisition requires the expenditure of energy. In today's world unbalanced
nutritional diets lead to obesity and other serious health issues (McMichael et al., 2007). Livestock
raising is a major contributor to agriculture–related greenhouse gas emissions. Studies have been
conducted to analyze what changes the meat industry would need to undergo to reduce the
greenhouse gas emission levels. In order to reach the target level of greenhouse gas emissions the
world would need to reduce their demand of animal products significantly (McMichael et al., 2007).
The estimated average per–head intake of, at most, 90 g meat per day and not more than 50 g of this
should come from red meat from ruminant animals

The World 's Largest Population
From the 3.68 billion people that will be added to the world population between 1995 and 2050,
Asia will contribute some 2 billion. This enormous increase is due to the already massive size of the
population. Most of this growth will occur in the next three decades. Between 1995 and 2025 Asia 's
population will grow by 1.35 billion – between 2025 and 2050 the increase is projected to be just
658 million. China is the world 's largest population, estimated to be around 1.24 billion in 1998. It
grows at a rate of 1.3% per year or 44,100 people a day. There are now more people living in China
than whole world 150 years ago. The population broke the billion mark in the 1982 census, the
results of which provided the justification for the strict one–child policy which effectively curbed
rapid population growth. In the 1990 census, China counted 1.133 billion people, over the next
decades the world population will inevitably age. This is an unavoidable consequence of large birth
cohorts during the 1950s and 1960s and the rapid fertility decline since the 1970s. In 2025 the "baby
boomers" of the 1950s and 60s will be between 65 and 75 years of age. These large aging cohorts
are followed by the relatively small "baby bust" generations of the worldwide fertility decline. In
1950 there were only 131 million people of age 65 and older; in 1995 their number had almost

Feeding the Growing World Population
The quotations taken from Josh Schonwald and Marion Nestle support an alternative food system,
which includes technological methods to feed the growing world population while also protecting
the environment. Although both believe alternative food systems could be the change of our future,
each approach these subjects differently. Schonwald is not afraid to keep an open mind with the use
of technology, while Nestle focuses on important choices one needs to make for the environment.
Both of these come down to four factors that determine if alternative food systems should be
accepted. These factors include: food, environment, globalization and gender. The reasoning behind
this is that the journey our food goes through encounters the men and women and their roles. On top
of that is how our food choices affect the environment, our health and the local, even global
communities in which we live.
Food is a very important role when discussing alternative food systems. Not only does food keep us
alive everyday, it can provide many health benefits. As stated by Schonwald, "'We will soon have a
hamburger that won't cause heart attacks, but will stop them.' How? You'll just take out the saturated
fat, and replace it with omega–3 fatty acids" (Schonwald 125). Schonwald turns to technology when
looking at the our future food system. One example of this is petri dish meat. Schonwald believes
this will eliminate food borne illnesses because the production of meat can be made safe

Global population ageing means that by 2050 over 60s will comprise 22% of the world population at
2 billion (Banister et al, 2012). A report prepared by the Population Division for the World
Assembly on Ageing in 2002 shows that population ageing is 'unpredecedented,' 'pervasive' and
'enduring', having a wide range of consequences for many countries and governments (UN). This
wide spread phenomenon, therefore has many implications and this essay studies these in terms of
economic, social, environmental and health factors. It then examines the responses of governments
to these challenges and the use of innovation by scientists to reduce the negative impacts of an ever

This is in comparison to the annual growth rate for the total population of just 1% (Blake and Simic,
2005). This increase, largely due to the increased numbers of people in this age group, is also a
consequence of high ownership rates for the over 60 year olds. By 2030 86.8% of 62–74 year olds
and 88.9% of the 85+ group are expected to own their homes (Blake and Simic). A third cause of an
increased housing demand could be attributable to an upsurge in retirees purchasing second homes,
either abroad or in their home country. In the UK the Survey of English Housing shows that there
was a 52% increase in the number of households with second homes in 2003/2004 than in
1994/1995 (Paris, 2006). This can have economic and social implications, especially for first time
buyers who are unable to afford the rising house prices and so are forced to move elsewhere.
Another problem of an ageing population is the effect of the one child policy in China. After being
introduced in 1979, the 4–2–1 problem has arisen (Woo et al, 2002). This reliance of 4 grandparents
and 2 parents on one child has major economic and social repercussions, the most important being
the lack of financial support one child can provide for 6 other adults. This is not only economically
straining on the child and the grandparents and parents, but also very stressful for the child.

Research Paper Prison populations around the world are continuing to grow every single day." The
nation 's jail population flows like a torrential river with upwards of 12 million individuals moving
in and out of institutions annually" (Lyman, 167). The population is continuing to grow in jails
because of the growth in the crime itself. It is debated whether or not nonviolent criminals should be
given jail time. There are other punishments that could be given to criminals that have not created
violent crimes, for example serving community service, being on house arrest and speaking to a
parole officer. Another question that society considers is whether or not in the long run will society
itself benefit from nonviolent criminals not receiving jail time. Society would benefit if nonviolent
criminals were punished in other ways than jail time. Society would benefit since overcrowding in
jails wouldn't be an issue, tax costs would be reduced, and recidivism would decrease as a result. A
big issue in prisons are overcrowding, it was previously stated that 12 million inmates that around
the world that is in prison. Even after considering that that is the average of all prisons put together
there is still a huge amount of people living in one prison." Jails now hold some 730,000 people in

According to the House of Lords (2013), one in five people in the UK will be over the age of 65 by

population, there will be new demands for labor both skilled and less skilled migrants in developed
countries. The Department of Health (2011) states that anyone in the UK who is deemed to be
ordinarily a resident is entitled to free NHS hospital treatment in England but overseas immigrants
will have to prove they are entitled to be in the country before they are given access to GPs and
hospitals. The Department of Health (2015) however suggests that a charge can not be made or
recovered from any overseas visitor for accident and emergency services whether in hospital or at a
walk in center, for some treatment of certain infectious diseases, psychiatric treatment and family
planning services. Data provided by the Department of Health (2013) shows the population of
visitors and temporary migrants is around 2.5 million and the costs of them using the NHS estimated
to £2 billion per year; this total includes the use by nationals from countries which the UK has a

But this can cause unknown side effects that is can have unknown effects on human or animals. This
can have an uprise in numerous ethical issues in both changing crop materials and testing it
(Strachan. T & Read. A 2011). In many experiments livestock that have been feed genetically
modified crops has had infertility, early delivers and death. This raises many complications towards
crops that are genetically modified as they may carry viruses or bacteria that can be harmful towards
humans and animals. Many ethically issues arise from the side effects from these crops on animals
and humans. If livestock is affected by these crops this could also mean decrease in production on
meat and increase of meat prices because of the demand. The effects of genetically modified crops
have not been fully tested on humans and the consequences are not fully known. There have been
cases with Indian farmers having allergic reaction to genetically modified cotton (Kurunganti
K,2008). This is important in today's world as the population is growing consumers need to be
aware of the benefits and consequences of genetically modified crops.
Genetically modified crops are expensive, economically can be have some financial strain on the

He demonstrated that the rules of the game would have to be altered to assure victory in an
unwinnable game. Hardin explains that a finite world can only support a finite population. This is
because the size of the population cannot outgrow to available resources. As the population grows,
the available land space decreases and more waste is produced. Hardin states that "the acquisition of
energy is the problem." Technological advances have been achieved to sustain the ever–growing
population. Hardin also uses the idea of "Tragedy of the Commons" to point out how humankind has
begun to aimlessly wipe out resources and producing even more waste without considering the
consequences. In the northern hemisphere, most countries have modern sewage systems to deal with
the overproduction of waste. "Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his

Population Growth Pressures On World Resources
Population growth pressures on world resources:
How significant it is and steps we need to take to control it
The world's population is expected to grow from 7 billion today to 10 billion people by 2050. It's
growing, and it's growing exponentially. But the world we live in is not getting any bigger. We will
have the same amount of space we have today in 2050. However, will we have the same amount of
resources? Many believe the world is already over its carrying capacity. So in this scenario how will
it sustain 3 billion more humans with the resources already getting depleted? The common answer to
this problem seems to be sustainable development. The term has been mentioned in a number of
environmental related concerns in recent times. But what is sustainable development? And how do
we plan to solve the resource crisis through this development? This essay will briefly discuss what
sustainable development means, while focussing on how the world resources are getting depleted
and what steps need to be taken to ensure the sustainment of those resources for future generations.

The World Population Data Sheet Reported
All residents of a specific area, city, or country comprise the total population. In my imagination, the
word "population" means all people from all over the world. As everyone knows, people are born,
grow, live, multiply, and make history, since the first living things appeared on the earth. Every two
years, the United Nations makes an assessment of past, present and future populations in all
countries and publishes their discoveries and predictions. Therefore, with this evaluation, they can
report on the number of people, and, based on this, they can conclude a hypothesis of what is likely
to happen with all us in the future. The World Population Data Sheet reported that in 2014, there
were 7,238,184,000 people on the earth. As implied by "Global Population Growth," 7.2 billion can
reach 11 billion or more than this in 2100 (49). The United Nations News Center reported that every
year, the population rises by 143,341,000 people. However, the relationship between population and
surroundings is complicated. Scientists are concerned when they estimate consumption of natural
resources, the demand of the population, and the limits of the earth's ability to support 4 billion
people more ("Global Population Growth" 49). Indeed, communities' effect on the environment

One of the biggest problems that we face today is over food. We constantly read and hear about
people who eat too much or too little, who and where there is access to food, and about the number
of people who go to bed hungry each night. These problems are heightened with the increasing
demands to feed more and more people. Fortunately, the production of food has been able to grow
with the increasing growth in population. Amusingly, despite having enough food to feed everyone
there are still millions left to starve. The United Nations World Food Programme was quoted saying
"some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's
about one in nine people on earth." Although we have the capability of increasing the amount of
food made, it does not mean that all of those people are being fed. The inflation of people in the
world is paralleled with the a growing number of those left to starve. The reason this is true is due to
the fact that places were food is usually stable (Europe, North America, Japan, etc) are steadily
decreasing in population. However, countries that are do not have a stable amount of food such as
(Africa, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia) are sharply increasing in human population. Those

The Problem Of A Growing World Population
Global perspective:
Countries with high average population density tend to be the same as those with large amounts of
arable land (e.g. Canada has the 11th lowest population density and very little arable land at 4,73%)
because large amounts of land are uninhabited. Generally, areas that are developing have higher
population densities, however, less developed areas generally have more population growth.
All solutions to the problem of a growing world population can be categorized into to categories –
creating sustainable growth or keeping the population under control.
The first way to create sustainable population growth is to raise education levels.
Above are two graphs – the left one showing the HDI (Human Development Index – a comparative
measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, standards of living and quality for life devised by the

The countries with the highest HDIs are shaded in green and the ones with the lowest are shaded in
red, while the darker the color of a country, the higher its birth rate. From these two graphs one can
see a definite correlation between having a high HDI and lower birth rates, leading to the fact that

The Pros And Cons Of World Population Control
Have you ever wondered what the answer to world problems is? World population control is one
option, but it is not a good one. Some say that it would help improve life, and would help bring
balance to the world. However, I believe that population control would not truly help anyone. World
population control is not the answer to world problems, for it would take away human life, the right
to have kids, and in the long run would not help any living thing.
The idea of population control started out many years ago. The person who first started Planned
Parenthood wanted to control the population of African Americans because she wanted less of them
around (National Public Radio). She tried to persuade more African Americans to come to Planned
Parenthood than people of other races. In addition, there was forced population control during the
Holocaust, a time in World War II, when Nazi Germany tried to exterminate all Jews and others the
Germans did not like (National Public Radio). This was because Adolf Hitler discriminated against
anyone not white or German. In the late 20th century, the Chinese decided to make a rule to where

The Overpopulation Of The World 's Population
Many people believe that today the world 's population is already too large for everyone to live
comfortably. Let us brainstorm for a while. According to the UN, we are living in the era of the most
intense growth of urbanization. Right now, when the level of urbanization is quite high, the remains
of the rural population of the planet dramatically swept into the city. Everyone knows that the urban
life style helps to reduce the birth rate to a subthreshold level. This means that neither sharp jump
nor sharp plummet is expected. If one opens the demographic map, one will see that Asia accounts
for half the world 's population! The largest in terms of population countries are India and China,
which together have 3 billion people. Despite many people believe the overpopulation to be an
issue, this problem is considered to be fake just as well as global worming which is claimed to be a
natural process. Konstantin Marsov claims "The current Voloshyn 3 population of the Earth is only a
5% of the territory. And if we do not take into account not suitable for human habitation natural
areas – deserts, jungles and taiga, is still a lot of space." According to some projections, the growth
of the world 's population will stop somewhere in the second half of the XXI century. But by that
moment it can reach 10 billion. In one of the most crowded countries in the world, in China, the

Globalization And Its Impact On The World 's Population Essay
While the origins of globalization stems from within the interpretation of the individual. For better
or worse, we cannot deny the dramatic effect it has caused on a large percentage of the world's
population. In the United States, we tend to see a side of this phenomenon that serves to our favor.
Most of the commodities you encounter in your everyday life, from the coffee in your cup to the
freedom of worship, are all a result of the advantages brought forth by globalization. In contrast, the
lack of jobs and available opportunities, whatever or wherever they would be, can also be attributed
to the hands of globalization. As we focus on the particularities of Haitians that have resulted from
this global incorporation of services and goods, we will first have to derive a holistic view of the

Because of the broad interpretation of the term "origins of globalization", I will refrain from
establishing this term as referring to the original African diaspora that eventually led to our current

The Problems Of The World 's Population
The world's population has been increasing since the industrial revolution at a pace that has never
been seen in human history, and with that growth comes the societal obligation of maintaining stable
societies where everyone 's basic needs are met. Among the most important of these needs is the
drastically increasing demand to feed everyone. But just as technology sparked the industrial
revolution that initially caused this problem, it has also been responsible for the innovative solutions
we've created to solve it. For example, genetic engineering has been used as a tool to produce strains
that require less nutrients, water and pesticides to grow. These strains also produce bigger yields on
less land, and contain a higher nutrient density themselves. In addition, advanced growing
techniques like vertical farming in controlled environments can create more food safety and security
for growing metropolitan populations. In other words, although technology can create flaws inherent
to the world it creates, it can, moreover, act as a powerful tool for solving those very problems.
From the beginning of humanity's long history to the start of the industrial revolution the world's
population rose by approximately one billion, but in the less than two hundred years since then it has
grown by over six billion more. This growth has naturally been followed by an increase in
exploitation of the earth's natural resources and agriculturally viable spaces to meet the world 's

The World Aging Population Is On The Rise
The worlds aging population is on the rise and has been for some time. It is estimated that by the
year 2030 that there will be "seventy million Americans over the age of 65" of that "fifteen million
suffer from a mental disorder" of some kind (Gary S. Moak, 2011). This paper is intended to
showcase the issue as it relates to policy as well as recommendations needed to curtail this ever
increasing issue. With the rise in medical expenses, the aging and elderly community suffers from
inadequate health care (Gary S. Moak, 2011). In an effort to alleviate this growing health issue,
priority needs to be placed on key concepts such as "extensive knowledge of the aging process",
"proactive and anticipatory care", a practice structure with a multidisciplinary team", as well as, "
good communication skills", " and a clear sense of the patients values, goals and preferences" just to
name a few (Cassel, 2009). Mentally ill individuals are at a disadvantage from the onset of the
disease. This is because they are often times not diagnosed at the early stages. Older individuals are
at a larger disadvantage due to the fact that they mostly live alone. According to the article titled

However, the same degree of pollution increases in cities with population of 10 million people is

China. According to Engelman (2009), falling human numbers is a powerful key to long–term
environmental sustainability. Therefore it could be concluded that the world environment can hardly
maintain an increasing population for its limited resources and probably pollution.
Another reason for the world cannot continue to provide for increasing population is that rising rate
of birth especially in poorest developing countries aggravates the trend toward greater inequality,
which means the rich getting much richer while others are opposite. Ezeh, Bongaarts and Mberu
(2012) found that in general, the growth of population is rapider in poorer countries than developed
countries. For example, the World Bank points out that in sub–Saharan Africa where poverty

Without major technological intervention, the growth in yields will continue to level out. Globally
the annual rate of growth in yields of the major cereal crops is likely to slow, as it has from 3.2% per

The alterations in food consumption patterns are greatly driven by income growth and specific
demographic factors, particularly lifestyle changes brought about by urbanization. While income
growth is one of the most significant influences contributing to demand changes, urbanization has
been almost equally as important in changes in food consumption. Urban areas are usually
correlated with higher income levels, as well as higher levels of education and a larger collection of
food products available. Economic growth can continue indefinitely and go in cycles, yet,
urbanization has so far been a one–way progression and, as occurred in developed countries,
ultimately the rural share of the population becomes so low that urbanization is no longer a
significant factor in foretelling food demand. Among developing countries with a sizeable portion of
rural population and rapid rates of urbanization, development is expected to considerably alter

products.

The world should stop its population from reaching 9 billion in 2050 by creating several laws
ensuring that women have the average number of children of 2.1. This is important because in the
future if/when the world becomes overpopulated, the quality of life itself will decrease. It is so
extremely important to work to limit the world population growth because not only will the world
become overpopulated with people, but the quality of those people's lives will equal to nothing.
Nobody wants that for themselves. So that is why it important to fix this epidemic now, before it's

Providing Sustainable Energy For Support The Growing...
Problem Statement
Providing sustainable energy to support the growing population of the world has been a debated
issue for many years. As prices for oil rise or unsustainable forms of energy become no longer
available, the need to provide society with a new form of sustainable energy becomes a necessity.
Although energy can be provided by other sustainable means (wind, solar, and water energy), those
resources require specific locations to work, for example, a mountain canyon with strong winds to
support a viable wind farm. However, not all areas of the world have windy mountainous canyons.
Some areas of the world do not have the means to support a growing population on sustainable
energy sources that are not readily available in their areas.
Nuclear energy is a low–carbon emissions source of electrical energy that can be added to multiple
locations as the need for more energy arises. However, nuclear power plants come with risks. If the
plant undergoes meltdown, the entire facility becomes unusable. Also, if the radiation from the tanks
escapes, the surrounding environment may become infected with radiation and the humans/animals
near the plant would be required to leave or face death due to the radiation poisoning.

Population And Its Effects On The World
In the world there are lots of different organisms. The number of organisms in a group can be
referred to as the organism's population. When the term population is thrown around, the human
race comes to mind. But what is the human population? Where is it most dense? Is it good or bad?
Let us learn. Population is defined as the number of inhabitants in a particular area. Currently on the
face of the earth there are approximately 7.2 billion people alive at this very moment and as of 2013,
36 million of these people live in Canada. The top 10 countries by population are: China with 1.4
billion people, India with 1.3 billion people, the United Sates with 322 million, Indonesia with 253
million, Brazil with 200 million, Pakistan with 185 million, Nigeria with 178 million, Bangladesh
with 158 million, Russia with 142.5 million and Japan with 127 million people. As can be seen a lot
of people live in Asia. To be specific, 61% of the world's population lives in Asia but why is this the
case? There are many reasons as to why there are so many people in Asia. One reason is Asia's
agricultural development. Asian culture thrived in the past because they mastered growing a high
amount of food in small areas. They grow such copious amounts of rice, and copious amounts of
other food types of food that they can support copious amounts of people. Another reason for high

are contributing to the expansion of population, one being food supplies. The World Resources
Institute asserts that, by 2050, the population will have gone up by 34%. It means that, there will be
an addition of 2.3 billion people on earth. The datum that the population world–wide was 2.5 billion
in 1950, the assertion posts a great danger a head since the earth is only one. Therefore, this paper

emit too many CFC's into the atmosphere by driving gas–guzzling vehicles, and not monitoring our

crop failures that may lead to premature deaths of a billion or more people in the next decade. In
addition to more frequent and more severe crop failures, projected consequences of the warming

takes for the population to increase by another billion is decreasing with each billion. According to

The world 's human population has been growing in what has been described as a j–shaped curve. In
the early 1900 's, the world 's population numbered nearly two billion; it has more than tripled since
then (Southwick 159). There are three theories or models for population growth. The Malthusian
theory predicts that human misery and eventual catastrophe will be the limiting factors for world
population. Logistic theory predicts that there will be some sort of gradual resolution as humans
adapt and are able to support a population between eight and ten billion. The domed model of
growth predicts that between eight and ten billion will signal overpopulation, so a readjustment of to
lower levels would be attained (Southwick 159). These three theories are important because each

The current meat practices in the U.S are unsustainable in terms of being able to meet the future demands of global society (Dahlen et al., 2014).

Fortunately sustainable solutions do exist.

In the next forty years food production will need to increase by one hundred percent if it is going to meet the demands of global society (Dahlen et al., 2014). The reproduction of livestock has undergone evolutionary changes over time all in favor of making production more efficient. Artificial insemination (AI), estrous synchronization and fixed–time AI (TAI), semen and embryo cryopreservation, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), in vitro fertilization, sex determination of sperm or embryos, and nuclear transfer are technologies that are used to enhance the production efficiency of beef operations (Dahlen et al., 2014). These are some of the newer technologies that have been generated to increase meat production. Food provides energy and nutrients, and its acquisition requires the expenditure of energy. In today's world unbalanced nutritional diets lead to obesity and other serious health issues (McMichael et al., 2007). Livestock raising is a major contributor to agriculture–related greenhouse gas emissions. Studies have been conducted to analyze what changes the meat industry would need to undergo to reduce the greenhouse gas emission levels. In order to reach the target level of greenhouse gas emissions the world would need to reduce their demand of animal products significantly (McMichael et al., 2007). The estimated average per–head intake of, at most, 90 g meat per day and not more than 50 g of this should come from red meat from ruminant animals ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 4. The World 's Largest Population From the 3.68 billion people that will be added to the world population between 1995 and 2050, Asia will contribute some 2 billion. This enormous increase is due to the already massive size of the population. Most of this growth will occur in the next three decades. Between 1995 and 2025 Asia 's population will grow by 1.35 billion – between 2025 and 2050 the increase is projected to be just 658 million. China is the world 's largest population, estimated to be around 1.24 billion in 1998. It grows at a rate of 1.3% per year or 44,100 people a day. There are now more people living in China than whole world 150 years ago. The population broke the billion mark in the 1982 census, the results of which provided the justification for the strict one–child policy which effectively curbed rapid population growth. In the 1990 census, China counted 1.133 billion people, over the next decades the world population will inevitably age. This is an unavoidable consequence of large birth cohorts during the 1950s and 1960s and the rapid fertility decline since the 1970s. In 2025 the "baby boomers" of the 1950s and 60s will be between 65 and 75 years of age. These large aging cohorts are followed by the relatively small "baby bust" generations of the worldwide fertility decline. In 1950 there were only 131 million people of age 65 and older; in 1995 their number had almost tripled and was estimated at 371 million. Between now and 2025 the number will more than double again; and by 2050 we ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Feeding the Growing World Population The quotations taken from Josh Schonwald and Marion Nestle support an alternative food system, which includes technological methods to feed the growing world population while also protecting the environment. Although both believe alternative food systems could be the change of our future, each approach these subjects differently. Schonwald is not afraid to keep an open mind with the use of technology, while Nestle focuses on important choices one needs to make for the environment. Both of these come down to four factors that determine if alternative food systems should be accepted. These factors include: food, environment, globalization and gender. The reasoning behind this is that the journey our food goes through encounters the men and women and their roles. On top of that is how our food choices affect the environment, our health and the local, even global communities in which we live. Food is a very important role when discussing alternative food systems. Not only does food keep us alive everyday, it can provide many health benefits. As stated by Schonwald, "'We will soon have a hamburger that won't cause heart attacks, but will stop them.' How? You'll just take out the saturated fat, and replace it with omega–3 fatty acids" (Schonwald 125). Schonwald turns to technology when looking at the our future food system. One example of this is petri dish meat. Schonwald believes this will eliminate food borne illnesses because the production of meat can be made safe ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Global population ageing means that by 2050 over 60s will... Global population ageing means that by 2050 over 60s will comprise 22% of the world population at 2 billion (Banister et al, 2012). A report prepared by the Population Division for the World Assembly on Ageing in 2002 shows that population ageing is 'unpredecedented,' 'pervasive' and 'enduring', having a wide range of consequences for many countries and governments (UN). This wide spread phenomenon, therefore has many implications and this essay studies these in terms of economic, social, environmental and health factors. It then examines the responses of governments to these challenges and the use of innovation by scientists to reduce the negative impacts of an ever increasing elderly population. One of the major economic problems ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is in comparison to the annual growth rate for the total population of just 1% (Blake and Simic, 2005). This increase, largely due to the increased numbers of people in this age group, is also a consequence of high ownership rates for the over 60 year olds. By 2030 86.8% of 62–74 year olds and 88.9% of the 85+ group are expected to own their homes (Blake and Simic). A third cause of an increased housing demand could be attributable to an upsurge in retirees purchasing second homes, either abroad or in their home country. In the UK the Survey of English Housing shows that there was a 52% increase in the number of households with second homes in 2003/2004 than in 1994/1995 (Paris, 2006). This can have economic and social implications, especially for first time buyers who are unable to afford the rising house prices and so are forced to move elsewhere. Another problem of an ageing population is the effect of the one child policy in China. After being introduced in 1979, the 4–2–1 problem has arisen (Woo et al, 2002). This reliance of 4 grandparents and 2 parents on one child has major economic and social repercussions, the most important being the lack of financial support one child can provide for 6 other adults. This is not only economically straining on the child and the grandparents and parents, but also very stressful for the child. Other social consequences of an ageing population are ...

  • 7. Prison Population Around The World Samantha Talmo Professor Wisz 8 August 2016 Research Paper Prison populations around the world are continuing to grow every single day." The nation 's jail population flows like a torrential river with upwards of 12 million individuals moving in and out of institutions annually" (Lyman, 167). The population is continuing to grow in jails because of the growth in the crime itself. It is debated whether or not nonviolent criminals should be given jail time. There are other punishments that could be given to criminals that have not created violent crimes, for example serving community service, being on house arrest and speaking to a parole officer. Another question that society considers is whether or not in the long run will society itself benefit from nonviolent criminals not receiving jail time. Society would benefit if nonviolent criminals were punished in other ways than jail time. Society would benefit since overcrowding in jails wouldn't be an issue, tax costs would be reduced, and recidivism would decrease as a result. A big issue in prisons are overcrowding, it was previously stated that 12 million inmates that around the world that is in prison. Even after considering that that is the average of all prisons put together there is still a huge amount of people living in one prison." Jails now hold some 730,000 people in custody, more than triple their population in 1983"( Speiser). If the prisons population was triple the population size in 1983 and it is ...

  • 8. The Increase Mobility Of The World 's Population And The... Immigration is a contested political issue, with both the costs and benefits under debate. Due to this, the assignment will involve a discussion on the implications of the increased mobility of the world's population and the impact on the migration of nurses on the United Kingdom's (U.K.) national health system. It will also look at the impact of immigration upon the National Health Service (NHS) and the increase in the demand on education and housing. Introduction According to Levaggi and Montefiori (2013, pp.100) globalisation is likely to have a significant impact on the population's health and it creates challenges for the financing and provisions of the national health care system. The Office for National Statistics (2015) states ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... According to the House of Lords (2013), one in five people in the UK will be over the age of 65 by 2030. Goldin, Cameron and Balarajan (2012, pp.6) argue that due to the increase in the ageing population, there will be new demands for labor both skilled and less skilled migrants in developed countries. The Department of Health (2011) states that anyone in the UK who is deemed to be ordinarily a resident is entitled to free NHS hospital treatment in England but overseas immigrants will have to prove they are entitled to be in the country before they are given access to GPs and hospitals. The Department of Health (2015) however suggests that a charge can not be made or recovered from any overseas visitor for accident and emergency services whether in hospital or at a walk in center, for some treatment of certain infectious diseases, psychiatric treatment and family planning services. Data provided by the Department of Health (2013) shows the population of visitors and temporary migrants is around 2.5 million and the costs of them using the NHS estimated to £2 billion per year; this total includes the use by nationals from countries which the UK has a reciprocal agreement with and health tourists like people who come to the UK with the express intent of using the health service which they were not entitled to, was estimated to cost between £60 million and £80 million per year.

The ever growing population of the world means that we need sustain and produce enough food in order for the survival of humans and animals. It is thought that the world population will get around 9 billion by 2050 (Guardian, 2014). To ensure that future generations do not starve, through new technology science can boost food related research. Genetically modified crops are an essential step to meet the needs of the growing population.

Hardin is pointing out the flaw in this type of thinking by demonstrating how technical solutions won't solve the problem, but rather "non–technical solutions" will be the answer. Wiesner and York stated that "If the great powers continue to look for solutions in the area of science and technology only, the result would be to worsen the situation."

Hardin explains that a finite world can only support a finite population. This is because the size of the population cannot outgrow to available resources. As the population grows, the available land space decreases and more waste is produced. Hardin states that "the acquisition of energy is the problem." Technological advances have been achieved to sustain the ever–growing population. Hardin also uses the idea of "Tragedy of the Commons" to point out how humankind has begun to aimlessly wipe out resources and producing even more waste without considering the consequences. In the northern hemisphere, most countries have modern sewage systems to deal with the overproduction of waste. "Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his heard without limit–in a world that is limited."

It's growing, and it's growing exponentially. But the world we live in is not getting any bigger. We will have the same amount of space we have today in 2050. However, will we have the same amount of resources? Many believe the world is already over its carrying capacity. So in this scenario how will it sustain 3 billion more humans with the resources already getting depleted? The common answer to this problem seems to be sustainable development. The term has been mentioned in a number of environmental related concerns in recent times. But what is sustainable development? And how do we plan to solve the resource crisis through this development? This essay will briefly discuss what sustainable development means, while focussing on how the world resources are getting depleted and what steps need to be taken to ensure the sustainment of those resources for future generations.

  • 12. The World Population Data Sheet Reported All residents of a specific area, city, or country comprise the total population. In my imagination, the word "population" means all people from all over the world. As everyone knows, people are born, grow, live, multiply, and make history, since the first living things appeared on the earth. Every two years, the United Nations makes an assessment of past, present and future populations in all countries and publishes their discoveries and predictions. Therefore, with this evaluation, they can report on the number of people, and, based on this, they can conclude a hypothesis of what is likely to happen with all us in the future. The World Population Data Sheet reported that in 2014, there were 7,238,184,000 people on the earth. As implied by "Global Population Growth," 7.2 billion can reach 11 billion or more than this in 2100 (49). The United Nations News Center reported that every year, the population rises by 143,341,000 people. However, the relationship between population and surroundings is complicated.

One of the biggest problems that we face today is over food. We constantly read and hear about people who eat too much or too little, who and where there is access to food, and about the number of people who go to bed hungry each night. These problems are heightened with the increasing demands to feed more and more people. Fortunately, the production of food has been able to grow with the increasing growth in population. Amusingly, despite having enough food to feed everyone there are still millions left to starve. The United Nations World Food Programme was quoted saying "some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth." Although we have the capability of increasing the amount of food made, it does not mean that all of those people are being fed. The inflation of people in the world is paralleled with the a growing number of those left to starve. The reason this is true is due to the fact that places were food is usually stable (Europe, North America, Japan, etc) are steadily decreasing in population. However, countries that are do not have a stable amount of food such as (Africa, the Caribbean, and parts of Asia) are sharply increasing in human population.

The Problem Of A Growing World Population Global perspective: Countries with high average population density tend to be the same as those with large amounts of arable land (e.g. Canada has the 11th lowest population density and very little arable land at 4,73%) because large amounts of land are uninhabited. Generally, areas that are developing have higher population densities, however, less developed areas generally have more population growth. All solutions to the problem of a growing world population can be categorized into to categories – creating sustainable growth or keeping the population under control. The first way to create sustainable population growth is to raise education levels. Above are two graphs – the left one showing the HDI (Human Development Index – a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, standards of living and quality for life devised by the UN) of countries around the world and the right one showing the birth rates of countries around the world. The countries with the highest HDIs are shaded in green and the ones with the lowest are shaded in red, while the darker the color of a country, the higher its birth rate. From these two graphs one can see a definite correlation between having a high HDI and lower birth rates, leading to the fact that on average, educated people have fewer children than uneducated people.

  • 15. The Pros And Cons Of World Population Control Have you ever wondered what the answer to world problems is? World population control is one option, but it is not a good one. Some say that it would help improve life, and would help bring balance to the world. However, I believe that population control would not truly help anyone. World population control is not the answer to world problems, for it would take away human life, the right to have kids, and in the long run would not help any living thing. The idea of population control started out many years ago. The person who first started Planned Parenthood wanted to control the population of African Americans because she wanted less of them around (National Public Radio). She tried to persuade more African Americans to come to Planned Parenthood than people of other races. In addition, there was forced population control during the Holocaust, a time in World War II, when Nazi Germany tried to exterminate all Jews and others the Germans did not like (National Public Radio).

According to the UN, we are living in the era of the most intense growth of urbanization. Right now, when the level of urbanization is quite high, the remains of the rural population of the planet dramatically swept into the city. Everyone knows that the urban life style helps to reduce the birth rate to a subthreshold level. This means that neither sharp jump nor sharp plummet is expected. If one opens the demographic map, one will see that Asia accounts for half the world 's population! The largest in terms of population countries are India and China, which together have 3 billion people. Despite many people believe the overpopulation to be an issue, this problem is considered to be fake just as well as global worming which is claimed to be a natural process.

Most of the commodities you encounter in your everyday life, from the coffee in your cup to the freedom of worship, are all a result of the advantages brought forth by globalization. In contrast, the lack of jobs and available opportunities, whatever or wherever they would be, can also be attributed to the hands of globalization. As we focus on the particularities of Haitians that have resulted from this global incorporation of services and goods, we will first have to derive a holistic view of the logistics being called for by the process that maneuvers the nature of globalization.

  • 21. The Problems Of The World 's Population The world's population has been increasing since the industrial revolution at a pace that has never been seen in human history, and with that growth comes the societal obligation of maintaining stable societies where everyone 's basic needs are met. Among the most important of these needs is the drastically increasing demand to feed everyone. But just as technology sparked the industrial revolution that initially caused this problem, it has also been responsible for the innovative solutions we've created to solve it. For example, genetic engineering has been used as a tool to produce strains that require less nutrients, water and pesticides to grow. These strains also produce bigger yields on less land, and contain a higher nutrient density themselves. In addition, advanced growing techniques like vertical farming in controlled environments can create more food safety and security for growing metropolitan populations. In other words, although technology can create flaws inherent to the world it creates, it can, moreover, act as a powerful tool for solving those very problems. From the beginning of humanity's long history to the start of the industrial revolution the world's population rose by approximately one billion, but in the less than two hundred years since then it has grown by over six billion more.

This paper is intended to showcase the issue as it relates to policy as well as recommendations needed to curtail this ever increasing issue. With the rise in medical expenses, the aging and elderly community suffers from inadequate health care (Gary S. Moak, 2011).

As prices for oil rise or unsustainable forms of energy become no longer available, the need to provide society with a new form of sustainable energy becomes a necessity. Although energy can be provided by other sustainable means (wind, solar, and water energy), those resources require specific locations to work, for example, a mountain canyon with strong winds to support a viable wind farm. However, not all areas of the world have windy mountainous canyons. Some areas of the world do not have the means to support a growing population on sustainable energy sources that are not readily available in their areas. Nuclear energy is a low–carbon emissions source of electrical energy that can be added to multiple locations as the need for more energy arises. However, nuclear power plants come with risks. If the plant undergoes meltdown, the entire facility becomes unusable. Also, if the radiation from the tanks escapes, the surrounding environment may become infected with radiation and the humans/animals near the plant would be required to leave or face death due to the radiation poisoning.

The top 10 countries by population are: China with 1.4 billion people, India with 1.3 billion people, the United Sates with 322 million, Indonesia with 253 million, Brazil with 200 million, Pakistan with 185 million, Nigeria with 178 million, Bangladesh with 158 million, Russia with 142.5 million and Japan with 127 million people. As can be seen a lot of people live in Asia. To be specific, 61% of the world's population lives in Asia but why is this the case? There are many reasons as to why there are so many people in Asia. One reason is Asia's agricultural development. Asian culture thrived in the past because they mastered growing a high amount of food in small areas. They grow such copious amounts of rice, and copious amounts of other food types of food that they can support copious amounts of people. Another reason for high Asian populations is the lack of cultural social safety net. In many of these countries, there is not unemployment ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

An Expanding World Population And A Degrading Earth An Expanding World Population & a Degrading Earth The world is currently home to around 7 billion people, but only a century ago there were only about 1.6 billion people living on it. It is estimated that the world population will soar to approximately 9 or 10 billion within the next forty years (Lambert 6). Along with the increasing global population, climate change and water scarcity are also burdening the survival of our planet (Lambert 5). The FAO has warned that agriculture must produce 70% more food within the next 40 years to feed our expanding population, but the world's resources and land are dwindling as quickly as the population is expanding (Lambert 5).

A balance must be achieved as agriculture accounts for 30% of income in developing countries and without food production, the current world population could not survive (Munesue 9). How is humanity supposed to feed its future self of 10 billion people without destroying itself through overuse of its Earth? Is Food Security a Human Right? There are more hunger related deaths each year throughout the world than AIDS malaria, and TB combined (Lambert 4). 25,000 people die everyday due to hunger related deaths (Lambert 4). The International Conference on Nutrition in 1992 and the World Food Summit in 1996 emphasized the importance of access to safe and nutritious food being recognized as a fundamental human right (Lusamba 3). It has been an established principle that a country 's rate of food insecurity is directly related to system of governance (Lambert 7). Democratic societies have much lower rates of food insecurity than those countries with more authoritarian governments (Lambert 7). In this paper, food insecurity is defined as a condition in which an individual or population does not have access to safe culturally appropriate food that meets their caloric and nutritional needs.

Population Growth Pressures On World Resources Name: Maulik Sanghvi (500394039) Instructor: Valentina Capurri Course: GEO 702 Date: November 5, 2014 Population growth pressures on world resources Introduction Not everyone admits that the world is getting overpopulated each day. The truth is that; there are real issues that are contributing to the expansion of population, one being food supplies. The World Resources Institute asserts that, by 2050, the population will have gone up by 34%. It means that, there will be an addition of 2.3 billion people on earth. The datum that the population world–wide was 2.5 billion in 1950, the assertion posts a great danger a head since the earth is only one. Therefore, this paper will discuss the growth pressures that exist on world resources as well as its significance and steps that ought to be taken to control it. It is intuitive and obvious that, the more people are, the more resources are required in meeting the needs of the people. More energy is also required. Even though most of the countries are still growing, the relationship between the two aspects is not linear. For instance, between 1990 and 2005, the population in China rose to about 15% yet the energy usage, on the other end, almost doubled (Weddell 23). Today, China is the most populated country. Although, research shows that, India is coming up too with a high population. Assertions are that, by 2028, India will overtake China (Weddell 25).

They are linked "to food–production statistics, to the prospect of a billion or more deaths from starvation and disease, and to the possible dissolution of society as we know it" (Ehrlich 11). Our planet is overcrowded, we have too many people and that affects both our ecosystem, economic system, and how our society runs. Nature has it's own way of eliminating a problem, and it's problem is people. We're causing the problem for ourselves. We created global warming because we emit too many CFC's into the atmosphere by driving gas–guzzling vehicles, and not monitoring our industrial output. We've created huge holes in our protective ozone, which then cause droughts and crop failures that may lead to premature deaths of a billion or more people in the next decade. In addition to more frequent and more severe crop failures, projected consequences of the warming include coastal flooding, desertification, the creation of as many as 300 million environmental refugees (Menk 34), alteration of patterns of disease, water shortages, and general stress on natural ecosystems. AIDS may have existed for thousands of years, but because people are in constant contact with hundreds of other people, the disease has spread like a wildfire killing hundreds of millions. Maybe this is nature's way of wiping out our surplus. People need to realize that a more humane way of reducing our abundance is to use birth control!

World History: Patterns Of Population Nathan Carrington WH 305 Dr. Hosselkus October 20, 2014 Exam 1 Patterns of population are an extremely important and very interesting topic to consider when looking at world history. Understanding the historical evidence that shows where humans originated, how long it took them to populate the planet, as well as what factors contributed to the rise and fall of various civilizations is critical to understand other world history related topics. It is important to note, however, that many scholars disagree on the definition of "human," and thus disagree on when the start of "human" history actually is. Some argue that the Homo habilis (handy) species from about 2.5 million years ago is a fair account of a human since they chipped hand axes ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Similar to patterns of population, economics and exchange networks undergo various changes over time. These changes are due to many factors that influence exchange, including available resources, war, and how badly certain civilizations needed to trade in order to prevail. As the world became more globalized and complex, trading became evermore important in that it allowed people farther away to trade with each other and acquire the goods they desired. A good example to begin with trade would be that of Minoan Crete, which was located in modern–day Greece on the island of Crete. Minoan Crete was located on hot, dry, non–arable land that suffered from cold winters and summer droughts. This area is also extremely prone to earthquakes. Unfortunately, not much is known about the politics of Minoan Crete, however it is known that the state regulated the trade in and out of Minoan Crete. It is also known that it was a very stratified society, meaning that citizens were either really rich or really ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

They are a people apart from others not because of their separate religious beliefs, but because they are an ancient cultivating group of people who have their own original antiquities. At the end of the 19th century, millions of Jews are living throughout Europe, and Jews do not have the freedom of movement and live in areas where the government gives them special authorization . Anti–Semitism exists all in the nineteenth century European societies. During the First World War, large Jewish communities advance around the capitals. This concentration of Jewish population in large cities have a strong impact on their lifestyle and make them more visible in the economy and in the culture . During World War I, while most young nationals are fighting in the Trenches on the front lines, many Jews migrate to the cities, filling jobs normally run by residents, which gives the Jews more opportunities to earn a living . Under Russian rule, the Jews are suspected of collaboration with the enemy, and 600,000 of them are banished from the front by the czarist army, a traumatic experience and an economic catastrophe that was still felt long after the war .

  • 38. The Current World 's Population The current world 's population is approximately seven billion people, and the amount of time that it takes for the population to increase by another billion is decreasing with each billion. According to the World Population Data sheet, there will be about eight billion people by the year 2020, and this is due to its continuation of growth (Southwick 159). A clear understanding of the causes and what might possibly happen is the first step to dealing with the population crisis. The world 's human population has been growing in what has been described as a j–shaped curve. In the early 1900 's, the world 's population numbered nearly two billion; it has more than tripled since then (Southwick 159). There are three theories or models for population growth. The Malthusian theory predicts that human misery and eventual catastrophe will be the limiting factors for world population. Logistic theory predicts that there will be some sort of gradual resolution as humans adapt and are able to support a population between eight and ten billion. The domed model of growth predicts that between eight and ten billion will signal overpopulation, so a readjustment of to lower levels would be attained (Southwick 159). These three theories are important because each has different implications for the environment. Most ecologists consider human population growth to be one of the most pressing problems contributing to environmental degradation. Human population growth works in conjunction ...
