Take Home Test - Help please #9
9. The boserup thesis contends that
1. the world will not be able to feed all of the inhabitants as population grows
2. rising population will intensify agricultural production even on marginal land
3. the maintenance of soil fertility can only be accomplished through swidden agriculture
4. the controlled management of water is detrimental to intensive subsistence agriculture
5. none of the above
Any ideas of what the right answer might be anyone? Does anyone know where in the book we can find information about this thesis at least?

It's hard to find but it's in the section "Subsistence Farming and Population Growth" on page 358.
It basically states that population increases force new developments in agricultural technology and will cause greater yields from subsistence agriculture.
which one does the thesis definitely state? One is implied but not directly stated
