Most first-world countries have zero or negative population growth when you don't account for immigration. This seems to be a result of economic development. Most countries are also economically developing over time so you can expect the population growth rate to peak and decline as this happens. It has happened, in fact.

Of course, this development is dependent upon the presence of natural resources which may interfere with the food supply (i.e. biodiesel or ethanol fuels).
