World¶s population is rapidly growing. From
year 1990-2020 the population is expected to
increase by 50%or more, industrial outputs by
85%and the use of non-renewable resources
will double.
The earth¶s carrying capacity is not increasing
and we are close to practical limits.

The world rather every country is trying tobring all its people or what ever resources theyhave to the industrial growth.
Though the world tries to reduce thepopulation rate they try to make a boom inagricultural field to get maximum yield on an

The chemicals which is using in agricultural
sector pollutes environment, also this sector
requires the use of non renewable resources on
a high level.
After 2000 these pollutants rises high enough
and begins to affect the fertility of the land
seriously.

(green house effect).
Emerging of new or highly resistant

Different species are dying out (if it go
like this 50%of species on the earth
which we can see today will not be there
at the end of this century).
