a. environmental revolution
b. Green Revolution
c. industrial revolution
d. agricultural revolution

Answer 1

b. Green Revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

• When in the mid-20th century population in most countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America began to grow rapidly, many remembered Malthus' predictions.
• The poor and newly independent African and Asian states did not know how to deal with the problem of population growth and insufficient food production.
• By the mid-1960s hunger and malnutrition were widespread, with only independent states becoming increasingly dependent on food imports from wealthier nations.
• The successes of the Green Revolution have affected the entire population of these countries.
• Food has become cheaper and more accessible to the poorer population.
