I only
II only
I and IV
III and IV

Answer 1

Im going to say that, "Farmers rely on high levels of mechanization such as harvesters and plows, to care for their crops." Considering that gathering the crops through workers would be both difficult, time consuming, and costly to everyone involved; using technology would be a much more viable solution. And when technology is introduced the numbers of workers involved is much lower, thats why when industry was introduced to America, high levels of traditional textile and agricultural workers were left unemployed.

Answer 2

The correct optio is: "I only"

Agribusiness is the economic activity that includes the production, industrialization and commercialization of agricultural, forestry and other biological natural resources. It implies the aggregation of value to products of the agricultural industry, forestry and fishing. It facilitates the durability and availability of the product from one era to another, especially those that are more perishable. This branch of industries is divided into two categories, food and non-food, the first is responsible for the transformation of what is produced by agriculture, livestock, fisheries and forestry in processed products, this process includes the processes of quality selection, classification (by size), packing-packing and storage of agricultural production, although there is no transformation in itself and also the subsequent transformations of the products and by-products obtained from the first transformation of the agricultural raw material. The non-food industry is responsible for the transformation part of these products that serve as raw materials, using their natural resources to make different industrial products.
