Before I begin it must be stated that I could use two additional documents to better answer the question. The first one would be an article reporting the conditions of third world countries before and after the revolution. This would benefit me because I would be able to see if the revolution actually helped the poorer countries, how it helped them (if it did) and the causes and effects of the revolution taking place. A second additional document that would be useful is a map showing the amount of soil degradation in each region from 1945 to present day. This map would be useful to answering the question because it would display the negative effects of the Green Revolution visually and let me accurately compare the different regions and see where the consequences were worse.

However, by this taking place there has been a huge increase in transport congestion, as seen on 16th of February 1980.
