Question

Which was part of the green revolution? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Higher standard of living for most people

The Green Revolution brought massive improvements in agriculture, which led to a great increase in food production that benefited most people around the world.

C. Pollution from fertilizers

The higher yields and output brought by the Green Revolution were facilitated by the extensive use of fertilizers in lands that are not as fertile/suitable for agriculture. This extensive use has also brought a new series of environmental problems.

D. Animal antibiotics and growth hormones

The Green Revolution was also manifested in the field of animal husbandry. In this field, antibiotics and growth hormones became commonplace for the same reason that fertilizers became commonplace in vegetable crops: increase output and productivity.
