chemical fertilizers
domesticated cereal grains
mechanical farm equipment
high-yield seed varieties
irrigation systems
120s - Q2
Which of the following statements best explains a limitation of the Green Revolution?
The Green Revolution was effective only in developing improved strains of rice.
Farmers declined to participate in the Green Revolution on cultural and religious grounds.
Green Revolution technology could not over-come the limitations of traditional irrigation systems.
The population increased at a dramatic rate, and the Green Revolution advances were not effective in decreasing hunger.
The Green Revolution was not effective in Africa because the initial focus was on crops that were not native to Africa.
120s - Q3
Based on studies in the Philippines on night-time temperatures and the effect on agricultural crops, there is a growing concern among scientists regarding the continued expansion of the food base to feed the world’s population due to the threat of
superpests
decreasing rainfall
global warming
cooler nights
longer days
120s - Q4
The following image illustrates which characteristic of the Green Revolution?
irrigation
mechanization
chemical fertilization
double-cropping
increased wealth
120s - Q5
Which of the following best explains how the Green Revolution illustrates patterns of hierarchi-cal diffusion?
The patterns of soil salinity that have serious effects on the productivity of agricultural land in Mexico
The infestation of pests in Africa for which pes-ticides or disease-resistant plants have not yet been developed
The cost of the capital expenditures for Green Revolution seeds and technology that widens the gap between wealthy farmers and poor farmers in India
The setting up of seed banks in the American Corn Belt to preserve what remains of domes-tic varieties of corn
The exposure of all farm workers in Latin America to poisonous chemicals that may lead to the evolution of superpests
300s - Q6
During the Green Revolution, agricultural practices from more developed countries diffused to less developed countries in Asia and Africa. Which of the following best explains the Green Revolution's highly variable level of success in increasing agricultural yields?
The increased yield of the Green Revolution in sub-Saharan Africa decreased the incidence of famine, but the program was unsuccessful in India because of poor soil quality.
Small-scale farmers in Asia often lacked the resources necessary to acquire the hybrid seeds and the chemical inputs to grow them, leaving large gaps in the success of the Green Revolution outside of urban cores.
The Green Revolution was not successful in China because the strain of rice produced was prone to widespread crop failures, and China dropped out of the program.
Rice production surpassed all other crop production in sub-Saharan Africa, but corn production in Mexico was less successful because of the negative impact on the environment.
Persistent famine has occurred in India since new technologies associated with the Green Revolution were implemented because only the wealthy could afford the increased cost of the improved strains of rice.
300s - Q7
Between 1950 and 1990, wheat production in India in average pounds per acre more than tripled, which allowed India to meet its population’s need for food. Which of the following best explains this change?
The elimination of poverty in India’s rural regions
The use of genetically modified seeds
The increase in microloan programs that provide farmers with credit
The use of large farm tractors and combine harvesters
The use of improved plant hybrids and agricultural chemicals
120s - Q8
In less developed countries, pesticides are typically applied by hand, whereas pesticides are typically applied by tractors or aircraft in more developed countries. Which of the following best explains the risks associated with pesticide applications?
Crop dusters are at risk when applying pesticides with aircraft in more developed countries, whereas environmental pollution is a risk in less developed countries.
Farm animals used to plow fields are at risk from pesticides in more developed countries, whereas environmental pollution is a risk is less developed countries.
Farmers' health is at risk in less developed countries, whereas environmental pollution is a risk in more developed countries.
Crops are at risk in more developed countries, whereas environmental pollution is a risk in less developed countries.
Crops are at risk in more developed countries, whereas environmental pollution is a risk in less developed countries.
300s - Q9
Green Revolution technology has resulted in which of the following in modernagriculture?
The development of high-yield grains and the expansion of cultivated areas
The construction of new irrigation systems and a reduction in the use of fertilizers
An increase in the circulation of investment capital to help the poorest farmers
The loss of prime agricultural land and smaller yields from grain crops
The end of famine in the world
120s - Q10
Which of the following agricultural inputs were the most recent technological innovations employed in less developed countries during the Green Revolution?
Metal plows and harvesting equipment
Irrigated farm fields
Seed hybrids and animal breeds
Chemical fertilizers and pesticides
Terracing in highland terrain
120s - Q11
In which of the following world regions has the Green Revolution had the least impact on agriculture?
East Asia
South Asia
Southeast Asia
Central America
Sub-Saharan Africa
120s - Q12
Which of the following best explains a neo-Malthusian perspective on the Green Revolution?
The Green Revolution represents a jump in agricultural technology, but population will still grow faster than our ability to produce food will over the long run.
The Green Revolution solves the entire problem of feeding the planet, and Malthusian ideas are no longer relevant.
Local food production is the key to long-term food production.
The distribution of food in a capitalist system results in too many people being unable to afford basic foods.
The increase in the food supply and a resulting increase in the population available for farm labor will solve the food crisis.
