distribution of types of substance farming.

farming whose products are intended to provide for the basic needs of the farmer, with little surplus for marketing.

1.New farming methods(tools, weeding, manure,irrigation) 2.Land is left uncultivated for shorter periods

TWO main practices: introduction go new higher yielder seeds AND expanded use of fertilizers Because of the Green revolution agricultural productivity increased on a Global Scale. (1970's-1980)

Short, stiffer wheat that was less sensitive to Crop rust, responded better to fertizlers, produced more wheat, and matured faster.
