What effect can population growth have on demand for food items?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demand for food items may increase

Direct answer: A is correct. Population growth means that the number of people who need food generally increases. Every person requires food, so the total demand for cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, milk and other food items can rise. Whether production actually meets this demand is a separate question; demand and supply are not automatically equal. A is correct because it states the likely effect of having more consumers. B is wrong because a growing population does not mean fewer consumers; it normally means more people requiring food. C is wrong because demand depends on the number of people, their needs and purchasing conditions, while production is the amount supplied. D is wrong because basic food is needed by all people, not only luxury consumers. The same reasoning can apply to water, housing, schools and health services. Memory cue: more people usually mean more basic needs.
