Earth will be "Unrecognizable" by 2050‎ as global population will mount to 9 billion from 7 million (at present) mainly in the developing countries that first stabilize provisionally and then turn down, according to United Nations (UN) reports. The rise of population will aggravate problems like resource depletion and food would become scarce in next 40 years, however the earnings of people would go up numerous times. Therefore for family planning to help control population enlargement particularly in developing nations, population experts are calling for more finding.

Overpopulation

In the US, the alarm has been sounded in a conference of the World Wildlife Fund of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) at which the experts from all over the world had attended. Now its time for all of us to take appropriate steps to prevent an untidy condition from arising in the future i.e. control births, raise food production, and evade wastage of resources.

Experts told that as the incomes climb people tend to lift up the food chain by consuming extra meat than they may have when they made less money. To create a pound of meat it takes nearly seven pounds (3.4 kilograms) of grain, and to make a pound of cheese or eggs about three to four pounds of grain, as per experts. Jason Clay of AAAS said to begin making changes now to how food is produced by advising scientists and governments, "More people, more money, more consumption, but the same planet."
