Abstract	In the 1960s it was predicted that famine would strike India because the country lacked the necessary resources to feed its rapidly growing population. Yet, in the 1970s and 1980s new agricultural developments occured that have helped abate the crisis. These developments comprise what is now called the Green Revolution. India's food/population crisis and the elements of the Green Revolution are outlined in this student handout that accompanies a teaching unit about agriculture in a cultural geography course. The development of new varieties of food grains; the heart of the Green Revolution; the changes in agriculture that have resulted from the revolution; and the changes that remain to be made are analyzed. Three tables and an 11-item bibliography are included. (DB)
