The Green Revolution in Asia (1965 to 1985)
As the Green Revolution spread across Asia, increases in food production pulled the region back from the edge of famine. Within 20 years, cereal production and yields doubled, reducing the price of food and improving livelihoods for an estimated 1.8 billion people. This success took place in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
