    Green

    Revolution
    Presented by
    Ananya Mishra, 6D
    Introduction
    In the mid- and late-20th century a revolution
    occurred that dramatically changed the field of
    agriculture, and this revolution was known as the
    Green Revolution.
    The Green Revolution was a time period when the
    production of global agriculture increased drastically
    as a result of new advances. During this time period,
    new chemical fertilizers and synthetic herbicides and
    pesticides were created. The chemical fertilizers
    made it possible to supply crops with extra nutrients
    and, therefore, increase yield. The newly developed
    synthetic herbicides and pesticides controlled
    weeds, deterred or kill insects, and prevented
    diseases, which also resulted in higher production.

    Where did the
    green revolution
    start?
    The green revolution began
    in Mexico in the 1940s, and
    was successfully introduced in
    parts of India, Asia, the Middle
    East, and Latin America.
    Why did the green revolution start?

    The beginnings of the Green Revolution


    are attributed to Norman Borlaug, an
    American scientist interested in
    agriculture. In the 1940s, he began
    conducting research in Mexico and
    developed new disease resistance varieties
    of wheat. By combining Borlaug's wheat
    varieties with new mechanized agricultural
    technologies, Mexico was able to produce
    more wheat than was needed by its own
    citizens, leading to them becoming an
    exporter of wheat by the 1960s. Prior to
    the use of these varieties, the country was
    importing almost half of its wheat supply.

    agricultural development?
    It allows us to produce more crops
    than traditional farming methods.
    It causes a reduction in food prices
    for the global economy.
    Allows farmers to produce multiple
    harvest in a year.
    Helps reduce greenhouse gas
    emissions.
    Allows us to cultivate almost
    anywhere on Earth.
