How does the competition for food and space affect the growth of natural populations?
how not? There are more people competing for food and spaces. So, there would be shortages everywhere. You have basically 2 optioins. First move the demand curve to the left reduce the consumption of food and space i.e. (kill all the people reduce the population) second move the supply curve to the right to reduce the shortages. You can do it by 3 ways. First, subsidies always move the supply curve to the right to increase consumption. Second government start to produce food themselves. Third, if they have buffer stock, use them. If not those aren’t valid options, then let people die. ie your way. It will have a pretty huge effect on the growth of natural poplution b/c people don’t have enough to eat. So they die.
