The Green Revolution refers to the wave of technological [research] that started in the 1940s to increase crop productivity in order to help developing countries face their growing populations’ needs. The technologies of the Green Revolution broadly fall into two major categories. The first is the breeding of new plant varieties; the second is the application of modern agricultural techniques such as chemical fertilizers, herbicides, irrigation, and mechanization. Beginning in Mexico in 1944, the Green Revolution continued in the 1960s to India & Pakistan, where it is credited with saving over one billion people from starvation. Dr. Norman Borlaug was the agricultural scientist who led the program and in 1970, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.

. . . Industrial agriculture has not produced more food. It has destroyed diverse sources of food, and it has stolen food from other species to bring larger quantities of specific commodities to the market, using huge quantities of fossil fuels and water and toxic chemicals in the process. . . . Productivity in traditional farming practices has always been high if it is remembered that very few external inputs are required. While the Green Revolution has been promoted as having increased productivity in the absolute sense, when resource use is taken into account, it has been found to be counterproductive and inefficient. . . .
