Possibilism was developed by the French School of Thought after the first world war. It developed mainly in early 20th century.
- Possibilist thinking focuses on man's conquest over nature. Due to technological and scientific developments and innovations, possibilism negated the earlier school of thought- Environmental Determinism. It focused on man's abilities to transform and modify the nature. Nature thus, could no longer be a hindrance in his path of Development because its role was not as a dictator, but only as an advisor.
- Possiblism is closely linked with the writings of Lucien Febvre, Vidal de la Blache (father of Possiblism) and Jean Bruhnes in France, and Isaiah Bowman and Carl Sauer in U.S.A.
- Possibilism states that “Nature does not drive man along a particular road, but it offers a number of opportunities from which man is free to select. There are no necessities, but everywhere possibilities, and man as master of these possibilities is the judge of their use.”
However the possibilities have never claimed that man can entirely free himself from all environmental influences
4. Men can never entirely rid themselves whatever they do of the hold their environment has on them. They utilize their geographical circumstances more or less according to what they are, and take advantage more or less completely of their geographical possibilities.
5. According to possiblism, it is man who is the primary architect of his culture. This is the reason there are various differences among groups in the same or similar environments. These differences are not due to the physiK environment, but owing to the differences in attitudes, values, habits etc.
So possibilism doesn't deny the influence of environment, but studies the man-emvironment relationship from human point of view. Man has a selective power. He is free to make choices.

Growth of Population: It is the change in the number of people in a particular area at a particular time. It is expressed in percentage. The annual growth rate of India's population in 2001 was 2.4%.
Phases of growth rate of population caused by annual birth rate and death rate:
PHASE I [1901-1921]:
- Period of stagnant growth.
- Negative growth was recorded during 1911 to 1921.
- Birth rate and death rate were high which kept the rate of increase low.
- Poor health and medical facilities, illiteracy, inefficiency in distribution of food and war were responsible for high death rate in the period.
PHASE-II [1921-1951]:
- Period of steady population growth.
- Improved health and sanitation facilities.
- Better transport and communication means Improved distribution system.
- Birth rate remained high, leading to high growth rate.
PHASE-III [1951-1981]:
- Period of population explosion.
- Rapid fall in death rate but high birth rate.
- Growth rate was high at 2.2%.
- Improved medical facilities improved living standard and the growth in economy helped in population explosion.
- Immigration from neighbouring countries.
PHASE-IV [1981-2001]:
- Growth rate declined due to crude decline in birth rate.
- Increase in the mean age of marriage.
- Improved literacy, specially among females.

(i) The size of the economy grows over time as a result of increasing population, change in income levels, available technology and associated factors. As a result, the pressure on land will increase with time and marginal lands would come under use.
(ii) Secondly, the composition of the economy would undergo a change over time. In other words, the secondary and the tertiary sectors usually grow much faster than the primary sector, specifically the agricultural sector. This type of
change is common in developing countries like India. This process would result in a gradual shift of land from agricultural uses to non-agricultural
uses.
(iii) Thirdly, though the contribution of the agricultural activities reduces over time,the pressure on land for agricultural activities does not decline. The reasons for continued pressure on agricultural land are:
(a) In developing countries, the share of population dependent on agriculture usually declines much more slowly compared to
the decline in the sector’s share in GDP.
(b) The number of people that the agricultural sector has to feed is increasing day by day.
