Give me a summary of the Philippine Green Revolution Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
Answer (1)
The Philippine Green Revolution under Ferdinand Marcos Sr. was a government-led agricultural program launched in the 1960s and 1970s aimed at increasing rice production through the use of high-yielding varieties (HYVs), chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and modern farming techniques. It was part of a broader global movement to improve food security. While the program initially boosted rice yields and reduced rice imports, it also led to environmental degradation, increased dependence on chemical inputs, and widened the gap between rich and poor farmers.[tex][/tex]
