The Agricultural Revolution in Mexico, which began around 7,000 years ago, enabled the domestication of crops such as maize, beans, and squash, leading to more reliable food sources. This agricultural surplus allowed communities to support larger populations, as fewer people needed to be involved in food production. Additionally, improved nutrition and the stability of settled agricultural societies contributed to lower mortality rates and increased birth rates, further driving population growth. Over time, these changes laid the foundation for the development of complex societies and civilizations in the region.
The Green Revolution is the cause.
because it have gental weather which allows it to increase agriculture and population
18% of the economic active population (some 8 million Mexicans) are dedicated to the agriculture in Mexico.
It made Mexico and California both more Booming with population.
In terms of population? Due to the Green Revolution, and the Mexican Economic Miracle (both between 1940-1970). The Green Revolution allowed for better maize, wheat and rice crops which increased agricultural efficiency and food availability in Mexico; the Mexican Economic Miracle was a phase of economic development in which Mexico began its industrialization, allowing for even more efficiency (i.e: mechanized agriculture, better transportation of harvests, nitrate fertilizers).
18% of the economic active population (some 8 million Mexicans) are dedicated to the agriculture in Mexico. I would say that qualifies as "many".
Industry, definitively:Agriculture employs 18% of the total active population, while industry employs 24% of the total labor force.Also, agriculture accounts for 4% of Mexico's GDP while industry accounts for some 27%
It increased productivity on crops such as maize, wheat and rice, whit in turn allowed the population explosion found in Mexico since the 1950's. From a population of some 26 million in 1950 it now boasts a population of 114 million and still growing. It also displaced many workers, as crop productivity required less farmers. These in turn migrated into Mexico cities, thus fueling the still ongoing industrialization process.
increased safety in the colony
Mexico encouraged Anglos to settle in Texas after the Mexican Revolution to help develop the region economically and increase its population. This was seen as a way to strengthen Mexico's control over the territory and prevent incursions from other countries.
Agriculture accounts for 3.6% of Mexico's GDP (2013).
New Mexico is cattle country, but sheep also have a major role in agriculture.
