Green Revolution in India Overview

The Green Revolution in India achieved success through three key elements: 1) Continued expansion of farming areas, 2) Double-cropping of existing farmland through irrigation, and 3) Use of seeds with improved genetics. This led to a major increase in crop production in India, allowing the country to become a net exporter of food after being dependent on imports previously. The Green Revolution helped India overcome historic famines and food insecurity issues.
