This increase in productivity often led to a rise in the acreage under cultivation as farmers expanded their fields to take advantage of these new methods and technologies.
Shifting away from commercial farming to subsistence farming is not a characteristic of the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution aimed to increase commercial farming and food production to meet the growing demands of the population.
