how did the green revolution prevent thomas malthuss theory about population growth and food supplies from happening in most parts of the world during the late twentieth century? (1 point)
the green revolution used synthetic fertilizers to create disease - resistant crops in developing nations.
the green revolution led to the transfer of food products between the old and new worlds for the first time.
the green revolution abandoned irrigation and other traditional farming practices to produce better varieties of food.
the green revolution advanced new crop rotation systems and selective livestock breeding programs.

Explanation:

The Green Revolution involved the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and high - yielding varieties of crops. This led to increased agricultural productivity in developing nations, which helped prevent Malthus's predicted food shortages due to population growth. The option about using synthetic fertilizers to create disease - resistant crops in developing nations aligns with this. The transfer of food products between the Old and New Worlds was the Columbian Exchange, not the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution did not abandon irrigation and traditional practices but rather often combined them with new technologies. Advanced crop rotation and selective livestock breeding were not the main ways the Green Revolution prevented Malthusian outcomes.

Answer:

The Green Revolution used synthetic fertilizers to create disease - resistant crops in developing nations.
