How have technological advances increase the carrying capacity of earth?

Changes in technology modify the carrying capacity of a territory as irrigation and fertilisation in agriculture, for example shorter rotations between crops, which increases the number of people who can be fed from the resources of a given territory.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the maximum population of species that a particular habitat can support indefinitely under a given set of environmental conditions without depletion of resources in that habitat.Technology advancing has led to the increase of the earths carrying capacity due to various inventions in agriculture.For example the humans discovered that you would plant crops in a large area of land through planting of seeds and by watering them,weeding,protecting them from being eaten by other animals would ensure enough food supply.  Inventions such as crop rotation and use of chemicals  have led to increase in crop production since the invention ensures continued soil fertility.Machines to make work easier in the farming practices have also contributed to the increase in the carrying capacity for they make work easier increasing the rate of productionTherefore the earth is able to sustain a large population of people without resources becoming depleted.
