AP Human Geography
Unit 5 – Agriculture and Rural Land–Use
Topic 5.4
How did the Second Agricultural Revolution influence demographic patterns?
It caused depopulation of rural areas due to the mechanization of farming processes driving people to cities, where they did not reproduce at the same rate.
It contributed significantly to population growth through increased food production eliminating previous Malthusian checks on population increases like famine.
It led directly to a decrease in global population due to increased exposure to agricultural chemicals resulting in lower birth rates globally.
It led to a decrease in population as increased productivity made farming less labor-intensive, reducing the need for large families.
