The Green Revolution has improved agricultural processes and techniques that led to huge increases in the production of crops. Many countries such as India, China, Philippines and Indonesia have benefited from the Green Revolution. Though it has brought about many benefits to developing countries, the use of modern technologies in the form of hybrid strains and chemical fertilisers in agriculture have brought about environmental as well as socioeconomic problems.


Cumulative Causation:

the process by which economic activity leading to prosperity and increasing economic development tends to concentrate in an area with an initial advantage, draining investment and skilled labour from the peripheral area (part of the backwash effect).


Core periphery theory
areas with different degrees of economic development. Within any particular region or country, development is unlikely to take place evenly. Areas with geographical advantages (such as soil fertility, raw materials, and access to trade routes) will become more developed than others. These are the core areas, where capital, infrastructure, and employment are concentrated, leaving periphery areas that lack these resources. Core and periphery regions may be identified at many levels. On a national scale, for example, the UK has a northern periphery and southeast core.
