Green revolution

Summary, in English

The Green Revolution in Asia from the early 1960s is defined as a process driven by governments in pursuit of self-sufficiency in food grains. The process was market-mediated and smallholder based and can be dated to the early 1960s with the Nobel Prize Laureate, Norman Borlaug’s research on high-yielding dwarf wheat in Mexico and later spread to rice and number of countries in South East and South Asia.
