Abstract
To secure a quality life for current and future generations, sufficient land, water, and energy must be available. Worldwide today there is evidence that food production and distribution processes are problematic; more than 3.7 billion humans are now malnourished. With the imbalance growing between population numbers and vital life sustaining resources, humans must actively conserve cropland, freshwater, energy, and biological resources. There is a need to develop renewable energy resources. Humans everywhere must understand that rapid population growth damages the earth's resources and diminishes human well being.
