The bulk of human food is provided by eight grains (wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, sorghum, millet and rye). Current world grain production is about 1.88 Billion metric tons, which is enough to feed about 8.01 Billion people. Assume for the sake of this problem that grain is the only food we eat. If the world's production of food is increasing linearly at about 1.3% per yearand the population is growing at 1.3% per year, how many people will be able to be fed at the time the world's population has doubled?

The number of people living on American farms has declined steadily during the last century. Data gathered on the U.S. farm population (millions of people) from 1910 to 2000 were used to generate the following regression equation: Predicted Farm Population = 1167 - .59 (YEAR). Which method is best to use to predict the number of people living on farms in 2050?
