intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food In developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the countries of Western Europe, overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty These countries produce large quantities of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large - scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world's highest population densities, with 1,147 persons per sq km A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low productivity manual farming, which contributes to the country's extremely high level of poverty Question 31: Which of the following is given a definition in paragraph 1?
