Population studies experts predict that our planet’s population will reach equilibrium in the first half of this century, and then begin a sharp decline. All of earth’s human inhabitants could fit into the country of France with 1000 square feet (100 square meters) of living space for each man, woman and child. Some countries are already noticing they don’t have enough people to run their factories. The earth can easily support 10 times its present population on a diet that includes meat, and 10-25 its current population on a meatless diet. These figures are published in DIVINE NATURE and are the result of careful research. The only shortage, Srila Bhakisiddhanta Sarasvati informs us, is that of Krishna consciousness.
