You sure? I vaguely remember that the Green Revolution was roughly a 10x in yield. That sounds pretty significant. What's the yield difference using modern tech

- Retric 2y agoNitrogen fertilizer alone is a long way from 10x yield. The initial program got 3x yields over 20 years from a host of changes (pesticides, farm equipment, new hybrids etc), but at the core it was really a mix of education and loans not just some novel techniques. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution
