Importance Of Agricultural Revolution

Agricultural Revolution- Which One is the Best?

Intro- The Agricultural Revolution is the period of time in which significant changes in agriculture has produced a significant effect on how food is produced. These revolutions range from first growing plants and raising animals to modify the genetic code of plants and animals to suit the needs of people. Although, certain Agricultural Revolutions may have much more of a significant impact, by how foods are mass produced and fed to people, especially in developing regions. For our opinion essay it would be with the third Agricultural Revolution, where international efforts are put in to produce much more food for the same amount of land area; through innovation, modification, cost, and the

That said, countries that lack access provide food for its population could get help from international efforts. According to the US National Library of Medicine, “ Green Revolution 2.0 that enhance the spread and sustainable adoption of productivity enhancing technologies are specified. The developing world witnessed an extraordinary period of food crop productivity growth over the past 50 y, despite increasing land scarcity and rising land values… populations had more than doubled, the production of cereal crops tripled during this period… 30% increase in land area cultivated.” This backs up our reason on the significant impact the “Green Revolution” provides by showing how the spread and enhancement in agricultural technology allow developing countries to feed its large growing population. The developing country’s improvement in agricultural technology also allows a growing population to increase while providing enough food to feed most of its

These crops would be developed from a “miracle seeds” in which would produce higher amounts of food per plant. These miracle seeds would allow countries with high populations to feed its people. According to The Cultural Landscape, published by James M. Rubenstein explains that, “population grew at the fastest rate...experts forecast global famine...new agricultural practices have permitted farmers worldwide to achieve much greater yields...scientists began an intensive series of experiments during the 1950s to develop a higher-yield form of wheat...new miracle seeds were diffused rapidly around the world. India’s wheat production, for example, more than doubled in five years.” That said, scientist has used modern technology to experiment with seeds, ultimately, come across high efficient seeds that allow countries with high populations, like India, to produce enough food. Subsequently, modern technology has also allowed crops and farm animals to achieve higher yielding, better visual appeal, taste, and nutrient-rich agricultural foods. Using modern technology allows genetic modification, the altering of the genetic information of an organism to reach desired traits, produce higher food quantities. According to The Cultural Landscape, published by James M. Rubenstein points out that, “10 percent of all farmland- were devoted to
