The green revolution has improved global agricultural output. Which of the following best describes the author's perspective on the beginning of the green revolution in the 1970s and 1980s? A
The green revolution was successful because of selective breeding, which improved nutritional value and crop yield to increase food production.

The green revolution had minimal success because farmers were unable to provide grains to feed most of the global population until the 1990s, when synthetic fertilizers helped to
improve crop yields.
с
The green revolution was successful because it decreased the demand for more farmland since genetically modified organisms increased the agricultural yield without increasing
acreage dedicated to agriculture.

disease in humans.
