A second green revolution is imminent in Asia. It will not be the same as the first one, since it will not depend on a few miracle varieties of wheat or rice but on adapting existing seeds to different enviromental conditions. This second revolution promises to bring similar benefits though this time to poor lands and poorer farmers that were not covered by the first green revolution. Such lands are poor because they are prone to floods, droughts and salinity. New seeds have been developed which can survive flooding and tolerate drought and saline conditions better.
