Answer 3

The father was very possibly women.  Making generalisations about goings on in non-agricultural cultures can be dangerous but, very often, women were and are pursuing forms of gardening when men go hunting, prepare to go hunting or sleep.  Such horticulture laid the basis for the subsequent development of agriculture.  Before farmers could farm some crops had to be domesticated.

Answer 16

Noted agronomist, Dr. M S Swaminathan from India led the Green Revolution. Dr. Norman Borlaug from the US supported the Green Revolution through the introduction of high yielding variety of wheat seeds.

India was in the grip of a food crisis in the mid-'60s. It was a situation of a terrible food economy. With domestic production of wheat hovering around 12 million tonnes, another 10 million tonnes were imported annually from the US under the infamous Public Law 480 during 1965-66 and 1966-67. The US administration often used this leverage of a life-saving handout to squeeze India.

The introduction of dwarf high-yielding varieties of wheat like Lerma Rojo and Sonora 64, on Indian soils during the mid-'60s coupled with farm technology, use of other inputs like chemical fertilisers and pesticides and backed by a strong governmental support allowed cereal production to increase manifolds to feed hungry mouths, thus bring about the green revolution. While this led to rapid increase of cereal production and transformed India from a food hungry to self sufficient country, it also had the associated negative effects of indiscriminate use of chemicals and synthetics which we are now realising.
