The Green Revolution

I think technology is a huge factor in increasing food production. In the construction industry I see housing going up all over. In many cases it is good for the area. The land they are developing on is only good for livestock. In other instances builders are developing land that is great for farming. These houses are being built on flood plains and on great soil. As more prime farming land is eaten up by civilization the help of technology is a must. With smaller farming areas and an increasing demand of food, the help of technology is helping increase the food production. In the future of food production the need to have more research and further technology to lean on will grow. Technology of every aspect will have some factor of survival of the world's population. The world agriculture expo is a great information source of the technology that is available to use these days.

Population Growth and Food

I believe Malthus was inaccurate about population growth and Food production. I think that population could out grow the world's food production. Nature has ways of controlling population. Natural disasters and war and many other world disasters control population. It may not be the best way or the easiest, but nature is in control. Money has a lot to do with countries dealing with starvation. It is sad to think that money is holding a country as great as the United States back from helping disperse food properly. Farmers need to be paid for their crops and their hard work. It would not be right for them to have to have to sell to countries that can't pay a going rate for food. On the other hand it is awful to hear of countries starving and their government can't or won't help them. It should be a concern of the Countries that are well advanced to help develop other countries. It is good to feed a man a fish for a day. It is better to teach him how to catch his own. I believe that if we can help the other countries with their own food production it could help in the relief of some starving countries.Having regulations on population growth in the United states would be unconstitutional. I think our country has changed a lot. Many people are waiting longer to start a family. If we would reach out further than we have and really emphasized on unwanted pregnancies and more ways to prevent it would help a very small portion of our problem.
