If population grows by 6 percent while total food production grows by 10 percent, what happens to food availability per person if other conditions remain unchanged?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will increase

Per-person food availability depends on the amount of food divided among the total population. If food production grows faster than population, there is more food available, on average, for each person, assuming other conditions do not change. Here, production rises by 10 percent, while population rises by only 6 percent.

For example, imagine an initial population of 100 people and food production of 100 units. After the changes, the population becomes 106 and production becomes 110 units. Food per person changes from 1 unit to about 1.038 units, so it increases by roughly 3.8 percent. Therefore, option B is correct. Unequal distribution or wastage could affect actual access, but those factors are excluded by the question.
