Rapid population growth may result in the consequences of too little food and too few resources. Explore what occurs when populations grow too fast and learn about state methods and natural methods to reduce population. Updated: 11/15/2021
Growing Too Fast
There is no doubt that the population of the world is growing very rapidly. A few decades ago, there were barely two billion people on the planet. Within a few short years, the world's population will reach eight billion, while countries like India and China deal with having more than a billion residents each. Instability in global food supplies, pollution, and a lack of resources have also increased over that time period, and there are concerns that those issues are not getting any better.
Luckily, both states and natural forces are able to slow population growth. But as we'll see, it's better for all involved to avoid some of the natural forces that restrict population growth.
