Nomadic herding is a type of farming in which Herdsmen move from from place to place with there animals (herds) of sheep , camel , yak , and goats in search of fodder and water , along defined roots.

It is practised in semi-arid and arid regions of Sahara , Central Asia and Jammu and Kashmir.

Green Revolution is the term given to the introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of fertilizers and irrigation which provided the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India. It was brought to India by the initiative of Indian government. Genetically modified high-yielding wheat was first introduced to India in 1960 by Dr. Norman Borlaug It is also rightly credited to M. S. Swaminathan and his team who contributed towards the success of green revolution in India.
