Drought and increased population reduced grazing areas
Ongoing industrialization and the "Green Revolution" are the main causes of population change in Mexico. An ongoing industrialization that started around 1930 (from a very low base, though) started to change the population dynamics, including immigration from rural communities to urban areas. The green revolution during the second half of the 20th century allowed for increased yields of wheat, rice and maize crops. Both factors explain the population explosion in Mexico, which increased from 12-14 million from 1521 to 1921 to 25 million in 1950 to 56 million in 1975 to 112 million in 2010.
they increased rural areas
During the Agricultural Revolution the population shifted towards rural areas. During the Industrial Revolution, the population shifted towards urban areas.
Climate and the "green revolution" in the 20th century:Highland climate in central Mexico allows for better soils and less vulnerability to tropical diseases (which before the 20th century, ravaged entire villages on the coastal areas).The green revolution in the 20th century allowed for increased yields of wheat, rice and maize crops.Both factors explain the population explosion in Mexico, which increased from 12-14 million from 1521 to 1921 to 25 million in 1950 to 56 million in 1975 to 112 million in 2010.
By the end of 2014, 54.7 percent of the Chinese population lived in urban areas--a rate that increased from 26 percent in 1990.
With increased surface areas in contact, friction increases.
Overpopulated areas need to find ways to cut back on new births. Introducing forms of birth control is one method of doing this, but can be problematic in areas with religious restrictions. Increasing education on women's health issues will also help. Increasing sanitation is a must. Increased population means increased waste. Disease spreads much faster in high population areas. Develop more efficient ways of producing food. Hydro and aquaponics are ways of doing this.
