Jada Peck · Answer 1

The development of agriculture and new technologies.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of the planet for humans continues to increase over time, especially with the development of agriculture and other technologies. It was originally believed that the industrial revolution was the cause of the increase. However, it has only artificially increased our carrying capacity since due to being based on the use of fossil resources, and thus is not indefinitely sustainable.
