Population Factors
There has been a 958% increase since 1860 in population.

Malthusian Theory
Malthus (born in 1766) believed that the population was growing too fast. He calculated that there would not be enough food to feed the population. He believed that only war, famine, and disease would result over resource shortages. He published his findings and calculations in 1798.
Most of society, eager to make advancements for land production, food, and employment moved to cities and began working in factories during this time and it sparked the Industrial Revolution from 1760-1840. New farming equipment was formed, medicine and health care improved, scientific understanding and vaccines were underway, and the population continued to grow faster than ever.
Based on your understanding, do you think Malthus was right? Why or why not?

The Malthusian Theory, introduced by Thomas Malthus in the late 1700s, argued that human population grows faster than food supplies. He explained that population can multiply quickly, almost like doubling each time, while food production only increases slowly, step by step. Because of this, Malthus predicted that people would eventually outnumber the food available, creating shortages. He believed this would lead to “natural checks” on population, such as famine, disease, and wars, which would reduce the number of people. Malthus also thought that efforts to help the poor with more food or money could backfire, because it would allow the population to grow even faster, worsening the problem. His theory has been debated ever since, especially as modern farming, technology, and trade have allowed food production to grow much faster than he expected.
