GPT 3.5
The spread of the potato is related to an increase in population in the Old World because potatoes were a high-yield crop that could be grown in various climates and soil conditions. They were easy to cultivate and provided a significant source of calories and nutrients. As a result, they helped diversify and improve the diet of the population, reducing famine and malnutrition. This, in turn, contributed to improved health and increased population growth in regions where the potato became a staple food.
