The Green Revolution: The 20th century

The Green Revolution of the 20th century was a period of time when advances in agricultural technology allowed for a dramatic increase in crop yields around the world.

Developed countries in North America, Europe, and Asia began to use new methods of farming, such as chemical fertilizers, improved irrigation, and high-yield crop varieties.

These new methods allowed for a greater production of food, which helped to reduce hunger and malnutrition in many parts of the world.

The Green Revolution also changed farming practices in developing countries, allowing for more efficient and cost-effective production of crops.

It led to a decrease in rural poverty and improved health and nutrition in many areas.

The Green Revolution also had a negative impact on the environment, as it increased the use of chemicals and water.

The introduction of new crop varieties also led to a decrease in genetic diversity, which can have long-term consequences for food security.
