If population grows by 7 percent while total food production grows by only 4 percent, what will happen to food availability per person if other conditions remain unchanged?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will decrease

Per-capita food availability is found by dividing total food production by the number of people. If the population increases faster than food production, the total food must be shared among a relatively larger number of people. With other conditions unchanged, this lowers the average amount available to each person.

Here, population grows by 7 percent, while food production grows by only 4 percent. Although total production rises, it does not rise enough to match the increase in people. Therefore, food availability per person decreases, so option B is correct. This conclusion concerns average availability; imports, waste, distribution, or changes in diet could affect actual access, but those factors are excluded by the question.
