1) What amenities in particular are you referring to?
2) The Green Revolution refers to the huge boom in crop and
agricultural surpluses in South-East Asia, in the period starting
from the 1960s, due to:
- Increase in use and proliferation of agricultural
technology
- Evolving of the associated management skills pertaining to the
agricultural business
- Increase in the innovation of crop related products. i.e.
high-yielding varieties of rice, fertilizers and pesticides
etc.
From the top of my head, I can pull out a couple of advantages from
the local and foreign perspective:
Local Perspective:
- Increase in domestic food supply arising from golden harvest of
crops
- Drop of real crop prices due to increase in productivity, leading
to greater affordability for the low income bracket population.
(lower income groups tend to expend the majority of their income on
food supplies as their autonomous component forms a bigger part of
their consumption)
- Boom in the crop/food export sector of the country and therefore
leading to increase in GDP for the country and growth for the
economy
Foreign Perspective:
- Increase in abundance of world food supply arising from the Green
Revolution
- Surplus of world food supply therefore provides ready aid to
famine stricken areas around the globe, preventing a famine on a
national scale to break-out.
- Gives attention to the investment opportunities in the South-East
asian region pertaining to the agricultural industry, thereby
leading to increase in foreign funding and investment, especially
in light of the growing demand for bio-fuels and alternative
renewable sources of energy.
I can think of a couple more adv and the dis-adv but im not going
to spoon-feed you anymore further. Im sure the points that i
mentioned above are more then enough to kick-start your train of
thoughts.
Good luck!
