The ability of soils to produce more and more foods for mankind and for animals kept by mankind is not limitless, and the increase rate of this production appears slower than the rise of the number of people on our planet Earth. When the two types of increase are plotted versus future time, the two curves shall eventually cross each other. See Fig. 14.1.
