https://www.infoplease.com/world/population/total-population-world-decade-1950-2050. To date global population is up about 280% since 1950.

USA was about 150 million when I was born. Approximately 2.2 x increase

Florida was about 2.5 million. Present population is about 22.6 million, or approx. 850% increase.


I suggest we can’t continue much longer in this path. Don’t have the answers but can see a time when the raw resources pipeline will be insufficient. Might promote an epic war for survival, objective being nothing more than access to raw resources.



US agriculture is producing only about half of what it potentially could produce.





The US agriculture system very inefficiently turns fossil fuel energy into food energy . Try farming without modern equipment, fertilizers, and pesticides and let us know the true potential. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource even though we treat them as if they are.
