    Rapid population growth has increased demand for food, materials, and energy, necessitating more efficient photosynthesis and conversion of photosynthetic output. The Green Revolution of the mid-20th century greatly improved agricultural yields through fertilizers, pest control, plant breeding, and mechanization, limiting famines despite population growth but not eliminating malnutrition. However, beginning in the early 1990s, the rate of yield increases for major crops like rice began to decline, and high input costs associated with sustaining agricultural production became problematic for many farmers.

    Requirements for food, materials, and energy in a world

    where human population is rapidly growing have created a need to


    increase both the amount of photosynthesis and the efficiency of
    converting photosynthetic output into products useful to people. One
    response to those needs—the so-called Green Revolution, begun in the
    mid-20th century—achieved enormous improvements in agricultural
    yield through the use of chemical fertilizers, pest and plant-
    disease control, plant breeding, and mechanized tilling, harvesting,
    and crop processing. This effort limited severe famines to a few areas
    of the world despite rapid population growth, but it did not eliminate
    widespread malnutrition. Moreover, beginning in the early 1990s, the
    rate at which yields of major crops increased began to decline. This
    was especially true for rice in Asia. Rising costs associated with
    sustaining high rates of agricultural production, which required ever-
    increasing inputs of fertilizers and pesticides and
    constant development of new plant varieties, also became problematic
    for farmers in many countries.
