Expansion of the productive capacity of an economy would help. However, it is likely scarcity will always exist as resources are limited but wants are infinite. So generally, it is how to allocate the resources most efficiently rather than how to solve scarcity, as scarcity can't be solved e.g. the NHS doesn't have the resources available to give everyone certain helathcare, so they have to choose who gets it, so if person A gets cancer treatment the resources are used up, therefore person B can't be treated as the resources were used for person A, so firms have to decide how to allocate resources.

Resources have to be allocated at their optimum level, if this doesn't occur it is known as market failure.

The government can intervene in the form of taxation (placed on a good to discourage its consumption), subsidies (given to firms to encourage production of a good, which makes it cheaper therefore encouraging consumption), regulation (laws used to prevent consumption of a good) and pollution permits (allocated to firms allowing them to produce a certain amount of pollution, they're tradeable which encourages firms to be greener).
