Don't Know What Green Revolution Is?

     The Green Revolution, attributed to Norman Borlaug, refers to the renovation of agricultural practices that began in Mexico in the 1940's. The term "Green Revolution" is used for big increases in wheat and rice yields in developing countries from the 1960's brought about by new high-yielding crop strains combined with the use of fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. This new method of farming was introduced due to the high level of hunger in India in 1943, and its technologies spread worldwide in the 1950's and 1960's, therefore, significantly increasing the amount of calories produced per acre of agriculture.
