The Green Revolution, or the Third Agricultural Revolution, was a period of technology transfer initiatives that saw greatly increased crop yields. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These changes in agriculture began in developed countries in the early 20th century and spread globally until the late 1980s. [ 3 ]
The state of Punjab led India's Green Revolution and earned the distinction of being the "breadbasket of India." [1] [2]The Green Revolution was a period that began in the 1960s during which agriculture in India was converted into a modern industrial system by the adoption of technology, such as the use of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, mechanized farm tools, irrigation facilities ...
The Green Revolution in the late 1960s (or generally, in the second half of the 20th century) [1] introduced farmers to cultivation of food crops using HYV seeds, although their ancestral roots may be older. [2] Compared to the traditional seeds, HYV seeds promise to produce much greater amounts of grain on a single plant.
The Scottish Agricultural Revolution (18th century), which led to the Lowland Clearances. The Green Revolution (1945–present): The use of industrial fertilizers and new crops greatly increased the world's agricultural output. It is commonly referred to as the 'Third Agricultural Revolution'. The Industrial Revolutions:
1944 – Green Revolution begins in Mexico; 1974 – China creates the first hybrid rice. [5] See Yuan Longping. 2000 – Genetically modified plants cultivated around the world. 2005 – Lasers used to replace stickers by writing on food to "track and trace" and identify individual pieces of a fresh fruit.

The green revolution runs on chips–but there is no good way to make the fragile semiconductors ecosystem sustainable in the short term. Rakesh Kumar. December 26, 2023 at 8:55 AM.
In the Green Revolution of the mid-20th century, crop rotation gave way in the developed world to the practice of supplementing the chemical inputs to the soil through topdressing with fertilizers, adding (for example) ammonium nitrate or urea and restoring soil pH with lime.
The green revolution brought temporary relief from this impasse, allowing the country to achieve substantial rice yield increases via the shift to new seed-fertilizer technology. But constraints in irrigation did not permit the new varieties to attain their full potential yields, nor did it permit much increase in multiple cropping.
