it has facets -it is both term for political and land fill-lol the idea is paternized by the turning soil into greenery-programs in the usa dated back to 1940 and in other countries well before that-it raise crop growth and cereal is put into the crop rotation-its an ecological awareness-to add to the soil and not simply depleat it-as in the rain forrests too. there is an overlap -and political means to work towards it-it is most honorable

The term Green Revolution is used to describe the transformation of agriculture in some developing nations that led to significant increases in cereal production between the 1940s and 1960s. This transformation occurred as the result of programs of agricultural research, extension, and infrastructural development largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and national governments. The term “Green Revolution” was first used by former USAID director William Gaud in 1968 who stated, “[The rapid spread of modern wheat and rice varieties throughout Asia] and other developments in the field of agriculture contain the makings of a new revolution

Awareness of environmental issues and the formation of political parties to promote those issues, for example the Green Party in Germany. They are generally "centerist" in outlook and are most influential as members of coalition governments, where a broad spectrum of social and industrial issues require an element of environmental protection.
