Crowley said that that the US would certainly want to see how they might be able to work collaboratively on a Green Revolution 2.0.

The response has come a day after the Under Secretary of State Bob Hormats delivered remarks at the Khalsa College in New Delhi.

These statements were focused on US-Indian agriculture cooperation,one of the major topics of cooperation between the United States and India,and emphasised the need for new collaborative efforts to seek solutions to the agricultural challenges that the two countries jointly face.
