Agriculture Revolution defines as a period of rapid change in agriculture usually associated with increases in output. One example of agriculture revolution is the green revolution. It defines as a significant increase in agricultural productivity resulting from the introduction of high-yield varieties of grains, the use of pesticides, and improved management techniques. The Green Revolution in Southeast Asia was a technology package comprising improved high-yielding varieties of rice, irrigation or controlled water supply, improved moisture utilization, fertilizers and pesticides, and associated management skills. The utilization of this technology package in suitable socioeconomic environments has resulted in greatly increased yields and incomes for many farmers in Southeast Asia.
