Join the National Association of Scholars Tuesday, June 27, at 2 pm ET for "American Innovation: The '50s and the Green Revolution."
The "Green Revolution" of the 1950s was a time of change in agricultural science. From the development of new types of crops to the use of chemical fertilizers and new methods of mechanical cultivation, the Green Revolution ushered in a new era of prosperity and food abundance.
What were some of the key results of the Green Revolution? How did it lay the groundwork for our modern system of food production and consumption? What have its results—economic, social, and environmental—been?
This event will feature John Perkins, a member of the faculty emeritus at Evergreen State College and author of numerous climate, nuclear, and agricultural works; Mohammad Alauddin, an environmental author and honorary associate professor at the University of Queensland; and Robert Zeigler, an internationally respected plant pathologist and researcher.
