how did refrigerated ships bring a change in the transport of meat and in the lives of poor in Europe
Answers
Earlier spices were used to preserve the food, but it made the preservation costly.
The refrigerated ship has changed the conditions of life of people in Europe.
Without these the people would have starved.
It has also helped a lot to transport the perishable items like- meat, bananas and citrus fruits and that too at the nominal cost.
Refrigerated ships helped to transport fruits, meat and poultry products over long distances, without getting spoilt. This led to an increase in production of these items, which could then be stored over a period of time during transportation, without the risk of spoilage. Increased production helped the poor find employment, especially in the farming and transportation sector.
Increased shipping and transportation activities, gave them more employment opportunities.
