Which of these was an unintended consequence of the industrialization of agriculture in the developing world during the mid- and late 20th century? food production was increasingly outsourced to developing nations as developed nations came to rely almost increasingly on imported food. the use of farmland shifted from cultivation to food processing as small family farms were bought up by agribusinesses. subsistence farmers and nomadic herders were displaced as arable land was increasingly used for large-scale farming. malnutrition became a problem as genetically engineered foods replaced traditional foods in impoverished countries. governments in developing nations put severe restrictions on the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides as environmental concerns grew?
