The document discusses issues related to global population growth and food supply. It notes that currently, 1/3 of the world's population is undernourished or malnourished. It also provides statistics on the percentage of land used for crops, crop land per person, and crop area in different regions of the world. It then discusses factors like land usage, agriculture, and technology that can impact a region's ability to feed itself. Finally, it considers Thomas Malthus' predictions of population outstripping food supply and discusses approaches like industrial and organic farming to increase food production.
