Population control through birth rate. China has already implemented this with the one child rule, although that is now history. Technology has increased to the point where they could introduce birth control to a water supply, and then anyone who wants to have a baby applies to the government for the antidote. I doubt the problem areas in the world will agree to that.

The second option is education. The higher educated a country is, the lower the birth rate. Canada sees this as a problem to the 'perpetual growth' economic model, and increased immigration to compensate, but in many countries it is already a solution to unfettered growth.
