"Impact and Potential of Organic Farming"

Abstract

The term ‘Green Revolution’ was first used by William S. Gaud on March 8, 1968, while addressing the society for International Development on ‘The Green Revolution - Accomplishments and Apprehensions’ (Chandler, 1976). It is a revolution, because of the sudden and enormous change involved, and it is green because of the creation of ‘greener looking fields’ (Singh, 1974, p; 6) The wheat crop in winter and paddy in summer resulted in a year round greenery over a vast span of area in tropical countries like India.
