Question

As early as 1798, Thomas Malthus in his ‘An Essay on the Principle of Population’ argued that as the population increased, the world’s ability to feed itself significantly diminished because of the encroachment on which was his best land.Which of the following goal targets from the Sustainable Development Goals would BEST address Malthus’ prediction of overpopulation impacting agricultural food production?

Answer 1

Answer:The book An Essay on the Principle of Population was first published anonymously in 1798,[1] but the author was soon identified as Thomas Robert Malthus. The book warned of future difficulties, on an interpretation of the population increasing at a geometrical ratio (so as to double every 25 years)[2] while an increase in food production was limited to an arithmetic ratio, which would leave a difference resulting in the want of food and famine, unless birth rates decreased.[2]
