Green Revolution

The Green Revolution is the process of technological development of agricultural techniques that began in the northern Mexican state of Sonora in 1944 and has since spread throughout the world. The goal of the Green Revolution was to increase the efficiency of agricultural processes so that the productivity of the crops was increased, and to help developing countries face their growing populations' needs.
