FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Key Takeaways. China is the world’s largest grain producer, yet has grown more dependent on food imports in recent decades. Much of India’s output is produced by subsistence farmers and consumed locally. The U.S. is the world’s top food exporter thanks to high crop yields and extensive agricultural infrastructure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Malthusian Theory: Malthus stated that population increased in a geometric progression (ie., 2, 4, 16, 132…) while food production increased in arithmetic progression (ie., 2, 4, 6, 8…). Thus population grew faster than food production and tended to outstrip it in a short time.
