In 2020, it was reported that over the last 50 years, we have seen an average of 68% decrease in the population of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. This negatively affects the food chain and can cause entire species to go extinct. This can be changed by sustainable agriculture which is the use of organic farming and minimising chemical inputs.

Overpopulation is expected to cause many to experience unsanitary living conditions and starvation. It can lead to wars and pandemics.

Some main causes for overpopulation are falling mortality rates, underutilized contraception, and a "lack of female education."

There is an "imbalance between births and deaths," in other words, more people are being born than people dying causing the population to continue to skyrocket.
A second cause for overpopulation is that "women aren't using contraceptives" enough and are having too many kids.
There are too many "girls worldwide" who "are out of school" and are too undereducated to understand the negative effects that having children will have on the world.

Family planning is a very efficient way to stop overpopulation becausee with less people being born there will be a sustainable amount of resources for everyone.

People can be fed a different amount of food and get a different amount of resources so there can be enough for everyone

Education programs will help better understand how overpopulation negatively affects the world. When people learn about overpopulation, they will feel empathy and help make a change.
