Food slike corn and potatoes that are native to the "americas" and cultivated by indigenous people were taken to Europe where the potato allowed the population in Europe to increase because it was an easy-to-grow and hearty food item. Corn was often used in Africa and fed many hungry and starving populations in Africa.
