What Is the Green Revolution? | World History Project

In this video, scholar Eman M. Elshaikh introduces the Green Revolution, which refers to agricultural technology transfers aimed at reducing world hunger, mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. The set of policies and aid initiatives also had a political element within the context of the Cold War. Aid from the US was linked to the belief that extreme poverty and hunger might turn populations to communist political movements. Debate continues over the benefits and costs of the programs, based on disagreements about sustainability, US corporate benefits, and whether the Green Revolution actually made things measurably better in the long run.

This was EXTREMELY difficult to watch. The emotionless and stoic features of this speaker made the context difficult to grasp on the purpose of the video.

She is definitely from India and has a strong bias on China which mislead people's opinion about other countries.

[@ML-qt8hr]

She's already mild enough on China. Actually in most China's farmland, no new farming technology at all. Not to mention Mao Zedong creates the biggest genocide in human history.
