Pros And Cons Of Green Revolution

Chevron, a multinational energy corporation has estimated that the human population which fuels energy demand to increase by 25 percent in the following 20 years. Some of the reasons why energy demand is increasing is because the energy sources are scarce and non-renewable. When the energy sources are low, the demand for energy increases, which leads to inflation, the sustainable rise of prices. The prices of energy are increasing up to 8 times the rate of job earnings. The household energy bills have increased by 4%.

After the Green Revolution, however, food supply surpassed world population significantly (doc#2). This means that a clear cause for the Green Revolution was the need to increase food supply. The world population did not have enough surpluses, leading to hunger and poverty. The Green Revolution was created to sustain the world population. A useful additional document would be data from a graph about food supply and human population specifically from developing countries, in order to see if the Green Revolution truly helped these areas.

Overpopulation occurs when the number of existing human population overreach the carrying capacity. We listed the cause and effects shown in the documentaries Don’t Panic and Racing Extinction. History: From 10,000 BC when the people begins to do farming, the population is 10 million. After more than thousands of years, more food, building of empires in China, Egypt and Europe, the population continue to increase but at a slow pace. In 1800s, the population grow slowly but the count achieved the 1 billion population mark.

Hardin writes that poor country’s have higher population growth than rich countries and that if we send them food they’re population will grow even higher but if we don’t there population will be “checked by crop failures and famines” (423). And if they keep drawing food from us, they will keep having more people born and then they will need more food, so it turns into a never-ending cycle of overpopulation. I have talked about how these two writers butt heads with there different points on foreign aid, overpopulation, and immigration. You can’t really tell which on is more right but it seems to me they both make some good

That is an increase from 11% in 2000 according to US Census Bureau data. First, any serious strategy to facilitate the economic growth of the US is obligated to include finding means to increase better paying jobs to aid both people without jobs and those working in low wage positions considered working poor. For example the Economic Policy Institute estimates that half of the jobs pay less than $34,000 a year. Hence it is not very hard to visualize families trying

Green growth and green economy have been subject to various definitions but those currently being used by international organizations have a lot in common. Greening growth (GG) and moving towards a greener economy (GE) is complex and multidimensional. Green growth is a matter of both economic policy and sustainable development policy. It tackles two key imperatives together: the continued inclusive economic growth needed by developing countries to reduce poverty and improve wellbeing; and improved environmental management needed to tackle resource scarcities and climate change. The concept of green economy rests on the economy, the environment and the social pillars of sustainable development.

China’s policy was expected to help lower the population rate by it has increased drastically since the policy was created. By using Document A and B we can see how, the One-Child policy has affected China’s population. Accordingly, to Document A China had a concern in their population growth because throughout 1960-1980 there was a population increase of 350,000,000. China’s Policy started in the 1980’s but since then their population has not lowered at all. It increased from about 1,000,000,000 to about 1,400,000,000 since the policy was created.

The alarming rate in which this is occurring has led the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to believe that by the year 2050, the individuals living in water-stressed populations will rise from 1.5 billion to 3-5 billion (NAO). Unfortunately, meat production is not the only food that pollutes the Earth. Horticulture, the practice of garden cultivation, is not far behind meat regarding pollution. During the 1990's, there was a demand for healthier and more organic foods as consumers became more conscious on what they ate (Fig. 1).

The Earth produces a limited amount of fresh water and food, which is falling short of the current needs. When population growth increase, the living standards decrease because they consume resources faster than they can regenerate. Many developing countries with rapid population growth face the urgent need to improve living standards. While the populations are expanding, our demand for health care, food, fresh water and shelter have increased. According to Miller and Spoolman in Sustaining the Earth (2015), we are about 7.1 billion people on the planet and this number will increase to 9.6 billion by 2050.

According to the royal society, between1930 and 2010 the world’s population grew from 2 billion to 6.8 billion ,so the Continuing population causes a consumption growth and that means the global demand will increase over the next years and growing competition for land, water and energy will increase too(Black, 2010). Growth of population will affect on some countries ability to produce food especially in the poor developing countries, so improved nutrition is central to improved income generation, poverty reduction, and provide a good food quality. Lack of food quality has an impact on mother’s nourishment because they are more likely to give a birth, so mothers which are malnourished later will give birth of babies with a less healthier, growth retardation are associated with reduced physical activity, impairment of
