History

Historical Context

The Green Revolution, spanning from the 1940s to the late 1970s, revolutionized agriculture by introducing high-yield varieties and chemical fertilizers, significantly increasing crop production. Initiated by Norman Borlaug, it saved over a billion people from starvation. By the 1960s, countries like India adopted these innovations, leading to a tripling of corn production and transforming global food security practices.
