To increase food production in developing countries through technological and scientific advancements.

The Green Revolution aimed to improve food security by reducing food shortages and malnutrition through increased agricultural output.

Technology, including high-yield seeds, synthetic fertilizers, irrigation systems, and pesticides, was central to boosting agricultural productivity.

The Green Revolution led to a reliance on expensive inputs like fertilizers and pesticides, making farmers vulnerable to market fluctuations and increasing costs.

The Green Revolution boosted agricultural exports and increased farmer incomes, contributing to economic growth in participating countries.

The Green Revolution sometimes led to the displacement of small farmers in favor of larger, more mechanized operations, causing social disruption.

Government support, including funding and resources for farmers, was crucial in facilitating the adoption of new agricultural technologies.

The overuse of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides during the Green Revolution led to soil and water pollution, causing environmental degradation.

International aid from global organizations provided crucial support and resources to developing countries to implement Green Revolution technologies.

Demand for food in developed countries drove the adoption of Green Revolution technologies to increase agricultural output and meet market needs.

A period of significant agricultural development in the mid-20th century, primarily in developing countries, focused on boosting food production through technology and new farming methods.

Genetically modified seeds designed to produce larger and more consistent crops, central to the Green Revolution's success.

Chemical compounds used to enhance plant growth, a key component of the Green Revolution's advancements.

Living organisms whose DNA has been altered through genetic engineering, often to resist pests, diseases, or herbicides.

A term referring to high-yield varieties of seeds developed during the Green Revolution, instrumental in increasing agricultural productivity.

Agricultural practices that rely on synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to enhance crop production.

The replacement of human labor with machines (e.g., tractors, harvesters) to increase efficiency in farming.

Processes involving the processing, canning, refining, and packaging of food products.

The use of genetic manipulation techniques to improve crop yields, pest resistance, and other desirable traits.

The process of selectively breeding plants to enhance desirable traits, such as yield, disease resistance, or nutritional content.

Positive: Increased food production, improved food security, economic benefits. Negative: Environmental degradation, dependence on technology, social disruption.

Both were key advancements; high-yield seeds increased crop yields, while synthetic fertilizers boosted plant growth, but both had environmental consequences.

Both experienced increased food production, but also faced environmental degradation and social disruption, though the specific impacts varied.

Green Revolution: High-input, technology-driven, increased yields. Traditional: Low-input, sustainable, lower yields, but less environmental impact.

Economic: Increased agricultural exports, higher farmer incomes. Social: Displacement of small farmers, increased income inequality.

Green Revolution: High environmental degradation due to chemical use. Organic farming: Lower environmental impact due to sustainable practices.

Green Revolution: Increased food production. Sustainable agriculture: Long-term environmental and social well-being.

Government: Provided funding and resources. International aid: Supported developing countries in implementing new technologies.

Large farmers: Benefited from increased yields and access to markets. Small farmers: Faced displacement and increased competition.

Before: Limited and inefficient. After: Widespread and more efficient, but also led to water depletion and environmental issues.
