Africa's Green Revolution
Abstract
During the 1960s and 1970s, some Asian and Latin American countries experienced yield increases due to the adoption of highyielding varieties of wheat, rice and maize. Their good performance was due to extensive use of irrigation, fertilizers and pesticides. This socalled Green Revolution has, however, never gained the same importance in Africa.
