Published 1968

The “Green Revolution” Norman Borlaug ( ): Wheat breeder and 1970 Nobel Peace Prize winner “The Man Who Saved a Billion Lives”

Developed fast-growing, high-yield, disease-resistant, fertilizer-tolerant wheat varieties Inspired similar efforts for rice and other grains

JJA Irrigation (km 3 ) Western NA India China Source: Puma & Cook, J. Geophys. Res. 2010

The “Green Revolution” Global wheat production increased 2x faster than population from Figure: Wikipedia commons

US: Increases in total production despite decline in land farmed Production = yield x area Yield = f(technical developments, inputs )

Chrispeels & Sadava, Plants, Genes, and Crop Biotechnology, 2 nd ed. Jones & Bartlett, 2003

The “Green Revolution”: Key elements High-yield varieties (HYVs) of key crops created by traditional cross-breeding techniques Irrigation development Increased fertilizer use Increased pesticide use Substantial public investment in infrastructure for irrigation and transport credit for purchasing inputs price guarantees.

The “Green Revolution”: Key elements

Mini-project 1 Produce an oral report for the rest of the class on the Green Revolution in one of the following countries: Mexico Philippines Malawi India Brazil Kenya United States

Mini-project 1 Your report should answer the following questions: How has agriculture in your country changed since 1950? What have been the benefits of these changes? What are the negative outcomes of these changes? Does the history of the last 65 years provide any lessons for the future?

Mini-project 1 Your report should be 5-6 minutes long (i.e., 5-6 content slides). Be prepared to present your report in class on Monday, September 21. Upload your report (pptx or pdf) under “Mini- project 1” in Stellar by 12 pm on Monday, Sept. 21. It should be Mac-compatible. Include references

Unsolicited advice It will be impossible to tell the whole story of 65 years of a country’s agricultural history in 6 minutes! Choose the points you think are most important for the rest of the class to understand. Think about the design of your slides to most effectively communicate your content.

The coming week Wednesday: Room ____. Librarian Chris Sherratt will give a short presentation about library resources. Rest of the class is for group work. Friday: Up to your group! and E are available for your use. Please have your group me and Mike Eddy a progress report or draft of your presentation by Friday afternoon at 5 pm; this progress report/draft will be shared with mentors. A brief journal entry will be due by Wednesday, Sept. 23.
