green revolution: commodity-centred increase in productivity	evergreen revolution: increasing productivity in perpetuity without associated ecological harm
(i) Change in plant architecture and harvest index.	(i) Organic agriculture: cultivation without any use of chemical inputs such as mineral fertilizers and chemical pesticides
(ii) Change in the physiological rhythm insensitive to photoperiodism	(ii) Green agriculture: cultivation with the help of integrated pest management, integrated nutrient supply and integrated natural resource management systems.
(iii) Lodging resistance	(iii) Ecoagriculture: based on conservation of soil, water and biodiversity and the application of traditional knowledge and ecological prudence
	(iv) EM agriculture: system of farming using effective microorganisms (EMs)
	(v) White agriculture: system of agriculture based on substantial use of microorganisms, particularly fungi
