There are some interesting things out that question the negative
effects of population increase. One good recent one -- actually, not
even out yet, but due in a few months:

Arizpe., L., M.P. Stone and D. Major
1994 Population and Environment: Rethinking the Debate. Westview
Press, Boulder.

For case studies on agriculture, see M.J. Mortimore & Mary Tiffen's
wonderfully titled _More People, Less Erosion_ on Kenya, and several
of the papers in the 1993 U. Florida volume edited by Kates, Hyden &
Turner, titled something like _Population and Agricultural Change in
Africa_.
