Malthusian theory of population was proved wrong because
the practice of subsistence farming was encouraged
developing countries adopted birth control method
new lands and new methods of production were discovered
Malthus view was seen as an exaggeration
توضیح
The Malthusian theory was criticized based on the observations that the population was rising at a rapid rate in some parts of the world. At the same time, the food supply had also increased due to technological developments. Many times, food production had increased more than the population.
