A scientific theory is a specific type of theory used in the scientific method. The term "theory" can mean something different, depending on whom you ask. 

"The way that scientists use the word 'theory' is a little different than how it is commonly used in the lay public," said Jaime Tanner, a professor of biology at Marlboro College. "Most people use the word 'theory' to mean an idea or hunch that someone has, but in science the word 'theory' refers to the way that we interpret facts."

Industrialisation leads to the decrease in the labour in agriculture but production increases because of the capital infusion in agriculture and due to the arrival of new technology. Demand of food products never dropped as they increases simultaneously with the population hence the increase in capital along with the new technology increases the food production across many countries around the world.
