The Population Connection
Population: World: 6,485,563,529 US: 297,891,356
Rapid population growth undermines efforts to reduce world hunger. A growing population consumes more space and resources, leading to a rapid loss of arable land and increased competition for remaining land. Our world is challenged to produce more food for more people on less land with less topsoil and fewer resources. Today, an estimated 841 million people remain hungry and undernourished, a number that approaches the population of the entire world when Thomas Malthus warned about the race between food and people some 200 years ago. Currently, the livestock population in the U.S. consumes over 80% of our corn and 95% of our oats. If Americans were to reduce their meat consumption by only 10%, it would free up enough grain to adequately feed all 60 million people who will starve to death this year. Population is not just about the number of people in the world. It's about how we each impact the Earth, how we consume, how we develop, and how we recognize our needs and our wants.
