Question

Exponential population growth occurs when new farming techniques, or new crops and fertilizers, arrive on the farming scene, while at other times growth is relatively steady. True or False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are new farming techniques or biotechnology sees the introduction of new crops and fertilizers that can yield more feed, the population has a very good chance of exponential growth.

We saw this in Britain during the Agricultural Revolution of the 17th and 18th century when Britain introduced new farming methods that increased yields leading to an exponential population growth rate. The same was the case millennia ago when humans started farming the first time.
