      • developed Limits to Growth Model
        • it looked at population, natural resources, agricultural output, industrial production and pollution
        • ability of resources, food, the environment, etc. to meet human needs will be reached by 2070, then start to decline-> increase ind death rates
        • criticism doesn't look at individual regions that may be well resourced and underpopulated, doesn't take into account certain developments in technology (renewables, GM crops and desalination)
