An area's carrying capacity may be lowered by resource destruction and degradation. It can also increase if we use our resources more efficiently, like improved agricultural practices.
But considering that our Earth’s resources are finite and in the process of being depleted faster than any other point in human history, what is our carrying capacity now?
Well, the world is developing too quickly to even ask this question.
We have already hit the point where population growth is increasing at a breakneck speed, and there is no way to stop it (unless you employ China’s one-child policy everywhere).
And these new babies are going to consume more food, water , energy, and space , leaving behind a growing pile of waste. (No, I'm not referring to mountains of diapers)
