Food is one of the most essential elements of a person's life. Everyone needs to eat whether it be meat or vegetables. As a population continues to increase, more food is needed to sustain that population. Being able to produce or import the food that is need to support the population provides a strain on the environment to grow or produce the products that are needed. Eventually, any given place is going to reach its carrying capacity and will then not be able to sustain the populations within its environment.
The community that i came from is called Raft Swamp. It is not very big but contains many people for it's size. Resources within this community are limited due to the people that inhabit it. To obtain food and other resources, one must go outside of the community into the city to buy these essential goods. The amount of food needed to sustain the community can not be received there. Raft Swamp is not a sustainable community due to overpopulation and lack of resources. It is mainly composed of swamp land which restricts land use for farming and other types of agriculture.
