  • Carrying Capacity: The human carrying capacity is a concept explored by many people, most famously Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 - 1834), for hundreds of years. Carrying capacity, "K," refers to the number of individuals of a population that can be sustained indefinitely by a given area.

Just as a population of wildebeest or algae has a carrying capacity, so does a human population.
