Agri-Zones: Regions of Production

Question 10 • GA-GSE World Geography B-CR

Which of the following statements about agriculture is false?

Answer
A
The successful hybridization of rice crops prevented famine in India in the 1960s.
B
The Green Revolution contributed to the growth of small organic farms in the United States.
C
Hybridization is an important cause of the recent increase in global agricultural production.
D
The Green Revolution caused the focus to shift from agriculture for local consumption to agriculture for export.

Explanation

The Green Revolution promoted high-yield crop varieties along with fertilizers, irrigation, and large-scale farming methods. It did not contribute to the growth of small organic farms in the United States; those farms generally avoid the synthetic inputs associated with Green Revolution agriculture. So the false statement is that the Green Revolution helped small organic farms grow.
