Near-future technologies to support a larger population (Overpopulation ep. 4)
Channel: Lifespan News
Date: 2021-06-07

How many people can our planet support? Can we make it support more people? In this fourth episode of X10's overpopulation series, we take a look at the concept of carrying capacity, estimates for the Earth's carrying capacity, and whether our planet may be able to sustain many more people than it currently does in terms of space, food production and energy supply. It may not be easy, but it's not impossible.
