Presumably, each link in a food chain consists of one species on Earth.

The number of species in nature can not exceed the number of creatures of all species.

Assume that each creature requires some finite, non-zero volume of space on Earth; therefore, there is a minimum volume that all creatures each requires.

An infinite number of creatures would occupy infinite space.

Earth has not infinite space, albeit it seems very large to finite creatures like you and me.

Therefore, no food chain on Earth can have infinite links.
