The term Green Revolution refers to the renovation of agricultural practices beginning in Mexico in the 1940s. Because of its success in producing more agricultural products there, Green Revolution technologies spread worldwide in the 1950s and 1960s, significantly increasing the amount of calories produced per acre of agriculture.
History and Development of the Green RevolutionThe beginnings of the Green Revolution are often attributed to Norman Borlaug, an American scientist interested in agriculture. In the 1940s, he began conducting research in Mexico and developed new disease resistance high-yield varieties of wheat. By combining Borlaug's wheat varieties with new mechanized agricultural technologies, Mexico was able to produce more wheat than was needed by its own citizens, leading to its becoming an exporter of wheat by the 1960s. Prior to the use of these varieties, the country was importing almost half of its wheat supply.Due to the success of the Green Revolution in Mexico, its technologies spread worldwide in the 1950s and 1960s. The United States for instance, imported about half of its wheat in the 1940s but after using Green Revolution technologies, it became self-sufficient in the 1950s and became an exporter by the 1960s.

Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 - September 12, 2009) helped start the Green Revolution in Mexico.
An environmental problem that resulted from the Green Revolution was depleted waterways. The Green Revolution happened between the 1940s and 1960s.
India, Turkey and Mexico, among other places.
In terms of population? Due to the Green Revolution, and the Mexican Economic Miracle (both between 1940-1970). The Green Revolution allowed for better maize, wheat and rice crops which increased agricultural efficiency and food availability in Mexico; the Mexican Economic Miracle was a phase of economic development in which Mexico began its industrialization, allowing for even more efficiency (i.e: mechanized agriculture, better transportation of harvests, nitrate fertilizers).
The Green Revolution was first experienced in countries like Mexico, India, and the Philippines in the 1960s. These countries implemented new agricultural technologies and practices to increase food production and combat hunger and malnutrition.
