I've given this a lot of thought.

There's a widespread concern among leaders that slowing population growth rates could trigger societal collapse.
However, I hold a different perspective and see several potential benefits:

• ​Environmentally, it could lead to cleaner air and a much-needed reduction in the exploitation of our natural resources.

• ​Socioeconomically, it might also help decrease the economic gap between the rich and poor.

• ​Socially, it could foster a society where farmers finally receive the respect they rightly deserve.
