Document Summary

But this is replaced by high caloric needs of working women. 30%/100%=0. 3 food demand only increases by 30: suppose income double for a rich nation with fie of 0. 1. 10%/100%=0. 3 food demand only increases by 10: finding: a focus on development leading to higher incomes not really a problem. 2500*(1. 08)*100m(1. 5)*(1. 1)(1. 05)=[2500*100m]*1. 8711=87. 11% increase in total plant equivalent caloric intake. Income and population growth affect the demand curve.
