The First Green Revolution was an effort to create dwarf wheat and rice plants that could prosper with more fertilizer. It was highly successful in India. While this approach worked in Asia and other places where rice and wheat are the staple crops, it did not affect Africa.
Root systems are the basis of the second Green Revolution, and the focus on beans and corn that thrive in poor growing conditions will help some of the world's poorest farmers, according to a Penn State plant scientist.
"Africans missed the Green Revolution of the '60s because they typically do not eat wheat and rice, which was its focus," said Jonathan Lynch, professor of plant nutrition.

Euphorbia tirucalli L. (Family, Euphorbiacae) a succulent cactus-like plant growing to a height of about 10 m, was introduced from Africa as a garden plant. E. tirucalli Grows in arid zones as well as zones that are more mesophytic, the species makes a good living fence post. The plant grows well in dry regions or land that is not suitable for growing food. E. tirucalli is called petroleum plant because it produces a hydrocarbon substance very much like gasoline. Whole plant harvesting is worthwhile from energy point-of-view with rubber, petroleum, and alcohol as energy products and resins, which may find use in the linoleum, oilskin, and leather industries. The charcoal derived there from can be used in gunpowder.
