Malthusianism or Malologusianism is a demographic, economic and sociopolitical theory and ideology, developed by the British economist Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) during the industrial revolution, according to which the rate of population growth responds to a geometric progression, while the rate of increase in resources for survival does so in arithmetic progression. For this reason, if repressive obstacles (hunger, wars, plagues, etc.) do not intervene, the birth of new beings would increase the gradual impoverishment of the human species and could even cause its extinction, which has been called the Malthusian catastrophe.

Malthusianism should not be a good theory to follow, Governments and the Private Sector should worry about cleaning up space junk around the Earth's orbit produced by waste from rockets and satellites that are not active during the space program of more than half a century; clean the garbage from the seas that plastic nanoparticles that are not biodegradable are consumed by marine fauna and by birds and by human beings when they eat fish from the sea with the food chain; they should reforest those places on the planet where the logging of trees has been excessive and many of these tree species cannot be reforested because they are unique as in rainforests; They should make a transition to green energy throughout the planet, not only in countries that can afford it, but also help with international aid programs so that each country, according to the type of ecological energy they have, stops using polluting fossil fuels that cause the greenhouse effect; they should finance the use of large tracts of arable land for food production, which is normal for a world population that already has 8 billion human beings on planet Earth to grow; they should encourage in all countries on the planet that have access to the sea the construction of seawater treatment plants, which would be an inexhaustible source of drinking water, which is something scarce on the planet, which exists in only 0.04% of the water on the planet.
