WHAT IS GREEN
REVOLUTION
The Green Revolution was a period when
the productivity of global agriculture
increased drastically as a result of new
advances. During this time period, new
chemical fertilizers and pesticides were
created. The chemical fertilizers made it
possible to supply crops with extra nutrients
and, therefore, increase yield. The newly
developed pesticides-controlled weeds,
deterred or kill insects, and prevented
diseases, which also resulted in higher
productivity.
The beginnings of the Green Revolution are
often attributed to Norman Borlaug, an
History and American scientist interested in agriculture
Dr. Norman E. Borlaug receives the
developmen Congressional Gold Medal in 2007. Burlaug,
a 1970 Nobel Laureate, was honored for his
t of Green work in the 'Green Revolution,' saving
millions of lives from famine in India,
Revolution Mexico, and the Middle East.
In 1965 the government of Mrs.
Indira Gandhi decided to major
Green steps on agriculture conditions.
Thus, Green Revolution was applied
Revolutio to the period from 1967 to 1978
basically in the parts or Haryana and
n in India Punjab. At this stage concern was
on Wheat and Rice. Dr. MS
Swaminathan from India led Green
Revolution as a Project.

Thinking of farmers
Improvement in crops
In addition to producing larger quantities of
Important food, the Green Revolution was also
beneficial because it made it possible to
aspect of grow more crops on roughly the same
amount of land with a similar amount of
Green effort. This reduced production costs and
also resulted in cheaper prices for food in
Revolutio the market. The ability to grow more food
on the same amount of land was also
n beneficial to the environment because it
meant that less forest or natural land
needed to be converted to farmland to
produce more food.

Failures of Green
Revolution

• Soil degradation
• Environment damage
• Loss of biodiversity
• Groundwater depletion
• Crop yield drop
Green Revolution has done a lot of positive
things, saving the lives of millions peoples and
exponentially increasing the yield of food
crops. But environmental degradation makes
the Green Revolution an overall inefficient,
short-term solution to the problem of food
Conclusion insecurity. So, more sustainable and
environmentallysss friendly system of
cultivation needs to be practiced. The world
needs green Revolution 2, which promises to
feed a growing world population sustainably –
without compromising the needs of future
generations.
