Green Revolution

Green revolution swept the world. It happened from 1950 to 1980. World food production doubled with the introduction of a new approach to agriculture. However green revolution method’s no longer appear to be so successful. The green revolution method’s no longer longer successful because of population continues to grow and cost of fertilizer for getting maximum production. Erosion is the reason for the lower grain production. In dry areas, especially, the loss of top soil has low productivity of the land. Grain production has been limited by the lack of water and new types of grain require more water than ordinary grain which we know. Social and political conflictn has interfered with food production. The problem lies in cost of new agricultural methods. Only the landowner can afford to make the necessary investments for maximum production of new grains. And now, it is time to question the methods of the green revolution. Farmers and goverment have to care and need to look at the overall picture and long term effects.
