Written by Codrin TAPU

This paper presents the milestones of the Green Revolution, outlining its role in the development of today's sustainable and biotechnological agriculture. In order to do this we used the material found in papers and books on the research in agriculture from the 1940s to the late 1980s. Current sustainable agriculture and biotechnological advancement, incuding the creation of genetically modified organisms could never have been possible without the Green Revolution. Reducing the height of the stalk allowed the production of high-yielding cultivars that now are used and modified with genetic engeneering methods in the context of a sustainable agriculture.
