Key Points
- Green Revolution
- The Third Agricultural Revolution, commonly known as the Green Revolution, was a time of technological transfer activities that resulted in significantly higher crop yields and agricultural output.
- Following World War II, these agricultural improvements started in industrialised nations and spread until the late 1980s.
- Farmers started implementing new technologies in the late 1960s, including high-yielding cereal varieties, particularly dwarf wheat and rice, and the widespread use of chemical fertilisers.
Additional Information
- Moreover, mechanisation and other more modern cultivating techniques were adopted in agriculture. These adjustments were frequently made as part of a set of procedures designed to replace older agricultural technology.
- These more expensive technologies were frequently offered alongside loans that were subject to the developing countries adopting new policies, like privatising fertiliser production and distribution, which was previously carried out through public channels.
