Common Agricultural Policy

Recently in Human Geography, we have been studying the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which is a system of European Union agricultural subsidies and programmes. It represents about 44% of the EU's budget and these subsidies work by guaranteeing a minimum price to producers and by direct payment of a subsidy for crops planted. The system has changed since it's formation 50 years ago, as the introduction of the Common Agricultural Policy led to food mountains. Also, take a look at what the future holds for the Common Agricultural Policy.

Green Revolution

The Green Revolution was an attempt to increase food production in LEDCs since the 1960s by introducing new high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of wheat and rice.

Why not visit Wikipedia for their information on the Green Revolution, or India.One. Stop for further details?
