The Columbian exchange of crops affected both the Old World and the New. Amerindian crops that have crossed oceans—for example, maize to China and the white potato to Ireland—have been stimulants to population growth in the Old World. The latter's crops and livestock have had much the same effect in the Americas—for example, wheat in Kansas and the Pampa, and beef cattle in Texas and Brazil.

According to Alfred W. Crosby in "The Columbian Exchange,” it resulted in population booms in parts of Europe and Asia due to the introduction of new staple subsistence crops from the Americas.

The Columbian Exchange impacted most regions of the planet with the constant exchange of goods and raw materials and the development of new cash crops that were exported. Livestock also was introduced which was an important part of the farms.

However, the negative side of the Columbian Exchange was that it almost wiped out entire Native American Indian populations due to the introduction of European diseases such as smallpox, Malaria, chickenpox, Colera, Influenza, or measles.
