Answer:
1. Food Production : Thanks to many technological advancements, food
production has dramatically increased over the past century. Often, the
food production rate has grown higher than the population growth rate.
2. Population Growth: The gloom and doom forecasts put forward by
Malthus have not played out. In Western Europe, populations have grown
(not at the rate Malthus predicted) and food production has also risen
because of technological advancements.
Explanation:
1. Food production: He said that there will be less food production and more population but due to the technoloigcal advancement in today's society, we are able to achieve more food production than the rate of increasement in the population. When he gave this theory, the agricultural field/technologies were not advanced enough but now that we have high techs for mass production, we have more food production than population growth.
2. He says that population growth will be in a geomatric way(expontianl way). When we look in the western countries now a days, we do not see his theory working.
