    Now, this would have been be a good place to introduce our good old friend Malthus and the Malthusian trap. And how he was defeated by industrialization.

    I think a few people got confused about the square kilometer. I think he means only the land used for producing/gathering the food, not all the land in a country. Also population growth today is - luckily - limited by education in many countries and the third world will hopefully follow too.

    Another message that this video teaches is if the world were to grow 100% organic food, it would not be enough to support the population of humankind

    Try bug consumption. Easy to raise; high protein content. Given large enough scale, it might tilt the scale.

    Hey Sal great vid! you forgot to say 2 things: in stage 4, multiple Calories of oil
    are used to create 1 Cal of nutrition, so that can't go on forever. And you forgot stage 5: sustainable permaculture farming/gardening with even higher yields/km^2 than stage 4 and without the use of diesel, pesticides or chem fertilizers!:) In alot of developing countries these techniques already work really well, maybe we'll be the developing countries in the future, with our irresponsible wasting of resources

    @BJ219 It's only true that modern humans have less leisure time because the things we consider necessary chores don't exist in a simpler life style or are of a different form (no need to vacuum if you live on a dirt floor). But you have to consider that the time spent working for "simpler" existence is much more labor intensive, and people who are forced to live like this due to poverty never have to work much harder than say a isolated tribe that chooses to live that way.

  • @sashakid
    @sashakid 13 лет назад

    now with that take the fact that most people in those places where we have modern agroculture eat more than 2000 calories and now suddenly 900 people per km squred is actually killing the limit and those who live in african might get even less that 2000 calories some of their days

  • @Upthemeds
    @Upthemeds 13 лет назад

    @RespectMyHate I would say it is not a problem yet...ecology teaches us, with the simple study of deer and wolf populations, that they are keep it check by food available, however the lack of food means that some members of the population are starving to death. Wouldn't it be simpler to keep the over population in check, than to let others starve

    I've been thinking about this caloric intake, along with nutrient and water requirement myself.
    Interesting points mr Sal.

  • @nab3042
    @nab3042 13 лет назад

    @BJ219 People did move to were the easier calories were, that is pretty much the story of human civilization. And desert nomads are supremely outnumbered. I'm not sure if I understood you correctly.

  • @nab3042
    @nab3042 13 лет назад

    @chocobofarmer2021 Yes, but why assume this super advanced technological use for food production and not go as far as to assume we would assemble our future food at the simplest level for mass production (molecular production of sustenance). Sure, most people don't like the idea of a gray protein paste, but I’ll assume that we'll have the technology to make it palatable, (texture is just as important as taste).

    ok stop everything you consume , soon as you read this note .. move to the land in vid .. walk and eat the same .. then 6 month of wonderful knowledge gaining .. go to alaska or nwt and do the same there .. now do the same with a young family calorie counter.

    I'm sorry this video was far too long for what you were trying to say. The subject is very interesting though. It is weird that you don't mention kcal(kilo calories) but instead call it calories and Calories...

    @renukote So you're saying that people don't need food, all they need is healing music. Okay. I'm gonna go ahead and treat you like a child because quite frankly that's what you are.

    As the title says,the land productivity is limiting the population,so why could anyone else dare meddle with it?
