AP Human Geography - Green Revolution & GMOs

Описание: Learn about the Green Revolution and GMOs in agriculture for AP Human Geography. This review covers Norman Borlaug's agricultural innovations, how the Third Agricultural Revolution addressed global hunger, and the ongoing debate about genetic modification in food production.

You'll explore why Malthusian predictions failed, how hybrid crops and biotechnology transformed farming, and the geographic factors that determined where the Green Revolution succeeded or struggled. We'll break down selective breeding versus genetic modification, examine real examples like Golden Rice and IR36, and discuss the environmental and economic implications of modern agriculture.
