3. 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.

4. History and development of Green Revolution??
The beginnings of the Green Revolution are often
attributed to Norman Borlaug, an American scientist
interested in agriculture. Dr. Norman E. Borlaug
receives the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007.
Burlaug, a 1970 Nobel Laureate, was honored for his
work in the 'Green Revolution,' saving millions of
lives from famine in India, Mexico, and the Middle
East

5. Effect of Green Revolution??
 Increase in production
Capitalistic farming
Rural employment
Import of food grains
Development of industries
Economic growth
Thinking of farmers

6. Did the Green Revolution use crop rotation??
Sometimes, but crop rotation was not a major innovation of
the Green Revolution. Crop rotation in one form or another
goes back to before the beginning of recorded time, and
new techniques had petered out by that time. Some places
during the Green Revolution continued crop rotation, while
others simply replaced crop rotation with fertilizer use. This
was more efficient and productive but created its own
problems and at times reduced the viability of continued
farming. The Green Revolution, despite its very clear
advantages at times, put short-term agricultural output over
long-term sustainability.

7. Issues regarding Green Revolution??
 Pollution and erosion of soil
Pollution of water
Unemployment among uneducated farmers
Deadly disease
Harmful for farmers
Consumption may be adverse

12. Conclusion
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 insecurity.
So, more sustainable and environmental 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.
