green revolution , great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice ) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent . The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields , raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.

Viewpoint: Biotechnology rejectionists claim the Green Revolution caused more harm than good. Here are the facts.

Even during the second world war, Mexico began to seek to convert dry farmland in the northwest of the country to irrigated agriculture to solve the problem of not self-sufficient food production. A consortium including the United Nations (FAO), Rockefeller, and Ford Foundations was formed. And in 1943, a research institute was established, which would later become the “International Corn and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)”. Here, some new agronomic options have been started to be explored, as well as the development of short, high-yielding cultivars that are resistant to diseases and pests and suitable for fertilizer use.

During the green revolution period of 1950-1980, improvement studies in wheat, rice, and maize continued in many other plants. While the plant height was shortened by hybridization methods in wheat and paddy, hybrid technology was used in maize.

A Japanese dwarf wheat variety (Norin10) was used as a genitor for shortening plant height in wheat. With those short varieties that were developed, the yield increased and the wheat importer Mexico became an exporter. While the “Mexican wheat” brought to Turkey in the 1960s could not show sufficient resistance to the disease species and breeds of Anatolian ecology, it also fell behind in consumer preferences and could not find much cultivation area in our country.

Presentation Transcript

Objectives • By the time you finish this lesson you should be able to: • Describe the Green Revolution in India • Explain the reasons why it was needed • Describe some of its positive and negative effects • Predict similar causes and effects in other regions

Vocabulary 1 • Food Security – a condition related to the ongoing availability of food • People who are “food secure” do not live in hunger or fear of starvation • Countries that are “food secure” have access to enough food to feed their citizens • Food security is the root of the Green Revolution

Vocabulary 2 • High-Yield Variety (HYV) – a hybrid plant that produces more than normal • Dwarf and Semi-Dwarf varieties – plants that are smaller than normal varieties • Smaller plants take up less space, so more can be planted in the same area • Hybrid varieties do not breed true – they must usually be planted from new seed each season

Vocabulary 3 • Subsistence Agriculture - farming in which the farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their families

History • The “Green Revolution” began in Mexico • Norman Borlaug developed and introduced high-yield varieties of wheat in Mexico during the 1940s and 1950s. • Mexico became a net exporter of wheat (it produced more than it used) by 1963. • Borlaug was invited to India and Pakistan to share his methods with South Asian farmers

The Problems 1 • More than 60 million people died in famines during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries in India • 4 million died in the 1943 Bengal famine • In large part, these famines were caused by poor harvests due to abnormal monsoons • The 1943 Bengal famine was made worse by the Japanese occupation of Burma in WWII, which normally supplied rice to the Bengal province

The Problems 2 • In simpler terms, India has historically had problems producing enough food to feed its population • These problems have typically involved • Poor monsoons (we have gone over this) • Poor agricultural practices (today’s lesson) • Inefficient distribution (mostly fixed)
