Question 2

Question
If the physiological density in a given country is very high and its arithmetic density is very low, then a country has

  • inefficient farmers or farmers that are out of work.
  • too few farmers for the large area of land suitable for agriculture
  • too many people for the available resources, particularly in regards to agricultural land.
