“Carrying Capacity” is a book category focused on the limits of natural and human systems—the maximum population, demand, or throughput an ecosystem, city, economy, or planet can sustain without degrading its foundations. It brings together nonfiction on ecology, population dynamics, resource use, agriculture, water and energy systems, planetary boundaries, and resilience, alongside policy, ethics, economics, and design perspectives that shape those limits. The category also embraces narrative and speculative works that dramatize overshoot, scarcity, collapse, and adaptation, imagining pathways toward regenerative, equitable futures. Across case studies and stories, these books probe thresholds, trade-offs, and feedback loops, asking how to balance growth, justice, and well-being while living within the capacities of our life-support systems.
