Indigenous food production system and the impact of population growth: community-based examples with anthropological evidence

An excessive population growth has a consequential effect on agricultural resource-base, where a huge amount of farming land has drastically been reduced in the past few decades; and that process still continuing. Contextually, I formulate a clear statement saying that due to an excessive demogra...
