The Green Revolution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Green Revolution refers to the increase in agricultural production achieved through the use of high-yielding crop varieties, improved irrigation, and altered management practices. It did not involve rebellions of Third World peasant farmers or a reverse flow of population from urban slums to farmlands. It also did not make traditional shifting cultivation practices more productive; in fact, it often replaced such practices with more modern, technology-based ones.
