Explanation: It is the introduction of new techniques of agriculture which became popular by the name of the Green Revolution (GR) around the world in early 1960s—at first for wheat and by the next decade for rice, too. It revolutionised the very traditional idea of food production by giving a boost by more than 250 per cent to the productivity level. The Green Revolution was centred around the use of the High Yielding variety (HYV) of seeds developed by the US agro-scientist Norman Borlaug doing research on a British Rockfellor Foundation Scholarship in Mexico by the early 1960s.
