Professor Swaminathan has called for an evergreen revolution to:

help the agroforestry industry to plant fast growing species of trees to support climate change initiatives

help agricultural companies buy products from small farmers in less developed countries as opposed to buying their land and producing the same products on their own

help small farmers increase productivity without damaging the long$-$term productive potential of the land

help large farmers employ more farm laborers to reduce unemployment in countries with "agricultural potential"
