The green revolution (or "the third agricultural revolution"). It consisted mainly in the development of new species of grains (HYVs - high yielding varieties or DRV - disease resistant variety) and the further development of pesticides. Coupled with a further mechanisation and industrialisation of farming techniques, the green revolution provided food for millions of people in poor countries, saving them from starvation.
