worked

a

researcher.YuanLongpingrealised

that

larger

fields

were

not

the

solution.

Instead,

farmers

needed

toboost

yields

in

the

fields

theyhad.How

this

couldbe

done

wasa

challenging

question

at

the

time.Yuan

was

convinced

thattheanswercould

be

found

in

the

creation

of

hybrid

rice.A

hybrid

is

across

between

two

or

more

varieties

of

a

species.Onecharacteristic

of

hybrids

is

that

they

Usually

attain

a

higher

yield

than

conventional

crops.

Howeverwhetherit

was

possible

to

develop

a

hybrid

of

self-polinating

plants

such

as

ricewasamatter

of

great

debate.The

common

assumption

then

was

thatitcould

not

be

done.Through

intenseeffort,Yuan

overcame

enormous

technical

difficulties

to

developthe

first

hybrid

rice

that

could

be

used

for

farming

in1974.This

hybrid

enabled

farmers
