Explain how managing food supplies could be used as a way to control a population

Increased food supplies would mean an increase in population

Explanation

There is a direct relationship between food increase and population increase. Biologically, when there is adequate food supply to a population, the individual will increase in number and have a better health. Increasing food production and supply for humans at the expense of other species will result to an increased human population.

Explanation:

For the growth of population of any organism, the quantity and quality of food are important factors. When any population does not get adequate food supply, it will not be able to reproduce at a rate at which it would normally do if the food supply was adequate.

Managing food supplies means providing only food that meets the hunger needs of a population and may not contain enough nutrients. This lack of essential nutrients may have a negative impact on reproduction thereby controlling population.
