The Green Revolution Revisited by Bernhard Glaeser

The Green Revolution Revisited by Bernhard Glaeser

The Green Revolution - the apparently miraculous increase in cereal crop yields achieved in the 1960s - came under severe criticism in the 1970s because of its demands for optimal irrigation, intensive use of fertilisers and pesticides. This book examines the Green Revolution concept in South America, Asia and Africa.
