Select one:
True
False

Answer 1

True! Food production in the 20th and 21st century has tripled because of industrialized agriculture, and most people spend much less time and income to obtain food.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: TRUE.

The incredible development of technologies in the agricultural sector has led to spectacular productivity gains which enable to generate a much greater amount of production in each exploitation (per unit of land). Also, as machines do most part of the work, less people are needed to work on agriculture. Nowadays, the primary sector (agriculture, animal husbandry, etc) represents a very small share of the laborforce in developed countries.
