Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although the core technologies of Asian Green Revolution (GR) were modern agricultural technologies, like fertilizer/pesticides, irrigation/drainage, and especially high yielding variety (HYV), GR of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) cannot be realized by such technologies only. The success of the Asian GR was based on the irrigated sawah systems developed by farmers using 100-1000 years before modern science and technology. Although Norfolk four-course rotation technology was core for the British Agricultural revolution in 18th century, long continued enclosure movement during 15th to 18th centuries had prepared farmers’ institutional land condition to accept the technology and made possible technology evolution. In order to realize GR, SSA farmers need irrigated sawah system (Sawah Hypothesis 1), which can be realized by Sawah technology in diverse lowland agro-ecologies, such as inland valleys, flood plains and inland deltas.
