Greater population can be supported on the earth only if we eat more A)mutton B)eggs C)plant products D)beef
Option C) One way of analyzing carrying capacity of the earth is to calculate its net primary productivity (NPP). This is the total amount of solar energy converted into biochemical energy through plant photosynthesis, minus the energy needed by those plants for their own life processes. It represents the total food resource on earth. In the food chain, meat products stay at the top. Even at the current levels where deforestation and other forms of destruction of vegetation has been rampant, plant products can sustain an extended population base.
