Carrying Capacity Calculator
Estimate the maximum sustainable population from resources.
Carrying capacity is the maximum population a resource base can support.
The math behind it
K = total resource / consumption per person. It is a simple ecological ceiling.
Worked example
1,000,000 kg/year serving 200 kg/person supports 5000 people.
FAQ
Is carrying capacity fixed?
No — technology and behaviour can shift it, but physical resources set an upper bound.
