Overpopulation is the result of the fact that human never consumed intil now any "natural food". Unnatural food, that we consume, demand too much land for its production. Backward technology that is used for making this food is responsable for complet absence of free land and its terrible pollution. All the wars goes mainly for the possession of the land that feed us. Natural food - food created for human. When human is already present and food is created for him. Only this food is natural. What we eat now was in this planet before we came here. To create first version of "natural food" (I expect big variety of "natural food") a lot of work must be done. Best helper for us will be our computer. It could be that some version of natural food will not demand land for its production. When this will happened main reason for actual discomfort and wars could vanish as well. Leonid.
