The correct answer is:

**a decline in food production**

The Great Leap Forward, initiated by Mao Zedong in the late 1950s, aimed to rapidly transform China from an agrarian society into a socialist society through industrialization and collectivization. However, it led to widespread mismanagement, unrealistic production targets, and a significant decline in agricultural output, resulting in a severe famine that caused millions of deaths.
