Answer Details
The Malthusian theory of population asserts that population growth will inevitably outpace food production, leading to a catastrophic collapse of human civilization. This theory has been rendered ineffective because of technical progress. Technological advancements, such as the Green Revolution, have led to a significant increase in food production and improved agricultural productivity, thereby increasing the world's carrying capacity. As a result, the Malthusian prediction of a population collapse due to food scarcity has not come to pass.
