Under the new sharing rule, the farmers' income rises, but the landowners' income falls below what it was before the policy. Which statement best analyzes this policy's outcome?

Evaluating an Economic Policy Outcome

A government implements a land reform policy where tenant farmers are given a larger share of the crops they cultivate. This incentive leads to a significant increase in total agricultural output. However, the landowners who own the land now receive a smaller absolute amount of crops than they did before the reform. True or False: This policy is an example of a Pareto improvement because the total economic output has increased.
