Abstract: The history of humankind witnessed a continual improvement of living standards. The introduction of agriculture stabled our food supplies. The industrial revolution eradicated hunger and reduced poverty across the globe. During the development process, human also reached the capacity to create substantial impacts on the environment, which has created adverse effects on our health. We believe that technological progress will enable us to achieve a balance between health, income and the environment.
