Decrease resource use methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrying capacity is the greatest quantity of people of a supplied species that an area's sources can support frequently without significantly spending or diminishing those resources. For communities which increase exponentially, growth begins gradually, starts a fast maturity phase and then straightens off when the carrying capacity for that species has been touched.

The proportion of the population then shifts somewhat above or below the carrying capacity. Reproductive lag time may produce the population to exceed the carrying capacity temporarily. The carrying capacity may be reduced by resource leveling and disgrace during an overshoot period or spread through technological and social changes.
