Land Resources and Food Supply

Adolfo Figueroa

Chapter Chapter 8 in Growth, Employment, Inequality, and the Environment, 2015, pp 133-151 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Could the limit to economic growth come from food supply? In light of the evolutionary theory of economic growth presented in the last chapter, the answer depends upon whether land resources that are required to produce food are renewable or nonrenewable. This chapter will address this question through an entropic theoretical model and submit its empirical predictions to the falsification process.
