Economists predict that worldwide food production will eventually lag behind population growth, leading to food shortages.
Identify some reasons for this trend in the food/population ratio. Check all that apply.

1. Natural resources, such as good farmland and adequate water supply, are being depleted by non-sustainable agricultural practices.
2. Many families lack access to effective birth control, especially in the developing world.
3. Per capita income and access to education are on the rise for women in developing nations.
4. In developing nations, large families offer security because couples must rely on their surviving children to financially support and provide care for them in their later years.

The following options apply:

1. Natural resources, such as good farmland and adequate water supply, are being depleted by non-sustainable agricultural practices.

2. Many families lack access to effective birth control, especially in the developing world.

4. In developing nations, large families offer security because couples must rely on their surviving children to financially support and provide care for them in their later years.

Explanation:

Option 3  is completely out of context because the per capita income is at the lowest ebb in developing nations as an average citizen lives on less than a dollar a day.

Natural resources are in danger of complete depletion since the people in these countries are not aware that they are expected to satisfy their own needs without compromising the chances of next generation in satisfying their own needs as well.

No doubt the population is increasing at geometric progression due lack of effective birth control methods.

Lastly, the dependence of parents on children at old age is also a critical factor for this ugly trend
