The presentation discusses the Green Revolution in agriculture, which refers to a large increase in crop production through the use of modern techniques. It was sparked by scientists like Norman Borlaug who developed high-yielding varieties of major crops that responded well to fertilizers and irrigation. This led to a crop surge starting in the 1960s, boosting food production in countries like India, Mexico, and Bangladesh. While the Green Revolution increased yields and food security, it also led to environmental issues from overuse of chemicals and could leave small farmers unemployed. More sustainable farming methods are now needed.

Green revolution an over view
The green revolution was a period in the 20th century where agricultural productivity greatly increased due to new technologies. Norman Borlaug conducted research in Mexico in 1940 that developed high-yielding varieties of wheat, laying the foundation for the green revolution. In 1965, under Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, the Indian government accelerated the green revolution through initiatives like expanding farmlands, introducing artificial monsoons, enabling multiple cropping per year, and developing high-yield crop varieties that used fertilizers and pesticides. The green revolution transformed many nations from food deficient to self-sufficient.

The Green Revolution in India refers to the period in the 1960s-70s when agricultural productivity increased dramatically due to the adoption of new technologies and high-yielding varieties of seeds, brought about through initiatives like those of M.S. Swaminathan. This helped increase food grain production, especially in states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. However, long term problems arose due to overuse of chemicals, loss of biodiversity, rising costs for farmers, and increased regional disparities between areas that could benefit and those that could not.
Green revolution
The Green Revolution significantly increased agricultural productivity in India through the introduction of high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, increased fertilizer and pesticide use, and improved irrigation techniques. Led by Indian agronomist M.S. Swaminathan and supported by Mexican scientist Norman Borlaug, the Green Revolution transformed India from a food-deficient nation in the 1960s to a major food exporter by the late 1970s through high crop yields that established India as one of the world's largest agricultural producers. However, overuse of chemicals polluted water sources and soils over time. Future agricultural plans need better management of irrigation and controls on pesticide and fertilizer use to minimize environmental impacts.
Green Revolution
Agriculture before the Green Revolution was limited by lack of irrigation and technology, resulting in low and unpredictable crop yields. This caused global concerns about the ability to feed growing populations. After independence, India established agricultural institutions and saw some improvements but productivity remained low. The Green Revolution starting in the 1960s introduced high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, irrigation projects, and chemical fertilizers, doubling food production in India and alleviating famine concerns. Agricultural advances after the Green Revolution continued to increase yields and crop diversification.

Green revolution
The document discusses the Green Revolution which refers to initiatives between the 1960s and 1980s that viewed agriculture as commercial rather than subsistence. It involved the use of high-yield variety seeds invented by Norman Borlaug to greatly increase food production. Methods included multi-cropping, superior seeds, irrigation, pesticides, fertilizers, and machines. The Green Revolution led to increased production and economic growth but also issues like pollution, soil erosion, disease, and unemployment. While saving lives, it was not environmentally sustainable long term.
Troy C Presentation
The Green Revolution refers to high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice developed in the 1960s to address the global food crisis. Dr. Norman Borlaug led efforts to create seeds with traits like short stature and disease resistance. Developing countries adopted these varieties along with irrigation, fertilizers, and mechanization to boost yields. This dramatically increased food production and lowered prices, improving global food security and saving millions from starvation despite population growth. However, overuse of inputs poses environmental risks if not properly managed in the future. Continued research is needed to sustain food security with a growing population and limited resources.
The Green Revolution
The Green Revolution began in the late 1950s and coordinated wheat and rice breeding schemes to develop short, fertilizer-responsive crop varieties that were resistant to disease and insects. These new varieties were first used in India, Malaysia, and Pakistan in 1965 and produced large increases in crop yields. However, the poorest and rain-fed agricultural areas were negatively affected, suffering from greater poverty and inequality. Environmental effects included reduced need for pesticides but also problems of soil degradation, overuse of groundwater, and soil pollution from excessive fertilizer and pesticide use. Continued agricultural advances are needed to sustainably feed a growing population.
Climate change organic farming
Organic farming provides several benefits over conventional farming methods. It improves soil health and fertility through practices like crop rotation and use of organic fertilizers. This leads to higher crop yields and more stable production over time. Organic farms also use less energy and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Adopting organic farming techniques can help improve food security and mitigate climate change by increasing sustainable agricultural production and building climate resilience.

GREEN REVOLUTION.ppt
The Green Revolution significantly increased agricultural production through the introduction of high-yielding varieties of cereals, especially dwarf wheat and rice. Key aspects included the development and adoption of improved seeds, use of fertilizers and agrochemicals, irrigation infrastructure, and increased mechanization. However, the Green Revolution also led to environmental and socioeconomic problems over time, such as soil degradation, increased dependency on external inputs, and a concentration of the benefits among wealthy landowners rather than poor farmers.
Green revolution 1
The Green Revolution refers to initiatives in the 1940s-1960s that increased agricultural production by developing high-yielding varieties of staple crops and modern farming techniques. Led by Norman Borlaug, the initiatives developed dwarf wheat and rice varieties that responded well to fertilizers and irrigation, boosting yields. This helped prevent famine and increased calorie consumption globally. However, it also increased reliance on purchased inputs and led to environmental and health issues from overuse of chemicals.
Green-Revolution-and-Its-Impact-on-the-Environment copy copy.pptx
The Green Revolution aimed to increase food production through new agricultural technologies but also caused environmental impacts. It led to a significant rise in crop yields through mechanization, irrigation methods like drip irrigation, and genetically modified crops. However, it also resulted in loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and water pollution from overuse of chemicals. More sustainable agricultural approaches are now needed to mitigate the environmental effects of intensive farming.

(28) green revolution ppt ah authors
The document discusses the Green Revolution in India. It began in the 1960s and led to increased food grain production through the use of high-yielding seed varieties, fertilizers, and irrigation. Key figures in the Green Revolution included Norman Borlaug and M.S. Swaminathan. The introduction of these new agricultural technologies made India self-sufficient in food grains and improved agriculture. However, overuse of chemical pesticides and fertilizers also led to negative environmental impacts like land degradation over time.
Assignment pptx
This document discusses climate smart agriculture (CSA) techniques to increase food security amidst climate change. It notes that agricultural production must increase 70% by 2050 to feed the growing global population. Climate change is reducing yields and CSA aims to sustainably increase productivity and resilience. CSA techniques include altered planting times, crop diversification, water conservation methods, and sustainable land management practices like mulching and agroforestry. The document concludes CSA is needed to address food security and climate change by increasing food production sustainably while reducing emissions and improving resilience.
The Organic Green Revolution
The document advocates for an "Organic Green Revolution" to transition the world's food systems to organic and regenerative agricultural practices. It argues that organic agriculture can feed the world, improve soil health and water quality, mitigate climate change, and be economically sustainable. The industrial Green Revolution has degraded soils and the environment while failing to solve world hunger. Transitioning to organic methods that rebuild soil organic matter could increase yields, make farmers less vulnerable to drought, and provide more nutritious food for all in a sustainable way.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Green revoulation in agriculture
- 3. What is green revolution? Green revolution Refers to a large increase in crop production by using modern agricultural techniques
- 4. GREEN REVOLUTION Green Revolution Crop push/spurt A spurt in crop production
- 5. Parameters of green revolution #There are two parameters 1. Rising food production for long period of time 2. Changes in technology and farm management practices
- 6. Norman Borlaug (The father of green revolution)
- 7. History and Development of Green Revolution The beginnings of the Green Revolution are often attributed to Norman Borlaug an American scientist interested in Agriculture. Dr. Norman E. Borlaug receives the congressional Gold Medal in2007.Burlaug, a 1970 Nobel Laureate, was honored for his work in the green revolution, saving millions of lives from famine in India, Mexico, and the Middle East.
- 9. Green revolution in Bangladesh The spread of green revolution and the consequent increase in food production was fairly noticeable after the independence in 1972. During that period food-grain production increased from 10 million tons to 37 million tons in the country indicating a significant positive effect of green revolution.
- 10. Food Security in Bangladesh Green Revolution could boost food security in Bangladesh.
- 12. Methods Used in Green Revolution 1. Multiple Cropping System. 2. Seeds with superior genetics. 3. Proper irrigation system. 4. HYV seeds. 5. Pesticides and fertilizers. 6. Modern machines. 7. Expansion of farming areas.
- 14. Effect of Green Revolution A. Increase in production. B. Capitalistic farming. C. Rural employment. D. Import of food grains. E. Development of Industries. F. Economic growth. G. Thinking of farmers.
- 15. Important aspect of Green Revolution In addition to producing larger quantities of food, the Green Revolution was also beneficial because it made it possible to grow more crops on roughly the same amount of land with a similar amount of effort. This reduced production cost. The ability to grow more food on the same amount of land was also beneficial to the environment because it meant that less forest or natural land needed to be converted to farmland to produce more food.
- 16. Issues Regarding Green Revolution Pollution and erosion of soil. Pollution of water. Unemployment among uneducated farmers. Deadly disease. Harmful for farmers. Consumption may be adverse.
- 19. Conclusion Green Revolution has done a lot of positive things, saving the lives of millions peoples and exponentially increasing the yield of food crops. But environment degradation makes the green revolution an overall inefficient, short- term solution to the problem of food insecurity. So , more sustainable and environmental friendly system of cultivation needs to practiced.
