People are still eating food.They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may some day.But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.
