Did the old world benefit more from the columbian exchange?

The Old World, particularly Europe, benefited significantly from the Columbian Exchange through the introduction of new crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and maize, which enriched diets and boosted agricultural productivity. These changes contributed to population growth and economic expansion. However, the exchange also had devastating effects on Indigenous populations in the New World due to disease and colonial exploitation. Ultimately, while the Old World gained economically and nutritionally, the costs to Indigenous societies were profound and tragic.
