Detailed Solution

Lighter wagons, faster railways and larger ships helped to transport food more cheaply and quickly from production units to even faraway markets in the late 19th century.
People may now have improved access to food due to new technology. Because of faster trains, lighter carriages, and larger ships, food could be carried from distant farms to end markets more economically and quickly. Refrigerated ships could deliver perishable food across long distances. Poor people could not buy meat because it was formerly considered a luxury item in Europe. Before the emergence of modern technology, high prices limited demand and output. However, as technology evolved, animals were slaughtered for food in the United States, Australia, or New Zealand and then delivered to Europe as frozen meat, less expensive than live animal transportation. The underprivileged in Europe may now have a better chance.
