How does the Green revolution effect the cold war?

The Green Revolution, which began in the 1940s and intensified in the 1960s, had significant implications during the Cold War by enhancing agricultural productivity in developing nations, particularly in Asia and Latin America. This increase in food production helped stabilize economies and reduce the influence of communism in regions susceptible to Soviet influence, as improved food security alleviated poverty and discontent. Additionally, the U.S. supported agricultural advancements as a means to counteract Soviet expansion by promoting capitalist agricultural practices, fostering alliances, and demonstrating the benefits of Western technology and intervention. Thus, the Green Revolution became a tool in the ideological struggle between the U.S. and the USSR.
