Question

2. It was Thomas Robert Malthus who suggested a direct relationship between
population growth and food shortages. His primary theory was that population grows
in geometric progression while food production grows in arithmetic progression. For
example,
Population - 2,10,50,250,1250 (geometric progression)
Food Production- 2,5,8,11,14,17 (arithmetic progression)
What is the immediate problem that we will face because of this differential growth
of population and food production? What steps should be taken in this direction to
solve the problem? Think and answer.​
