Answer:

The statement World empires in Asia that relied upon large-scale irrigation and drainage schemes for agricultural productivity are known as hydraulic societies is true.

Since 1948, U.S. agricultural productivity has more than doubled, enabling farmers to feed more people with less land and labor. Agricultural output growth is attributed to the growth in total inputs used and in technology advancement, or total factor productivity.
