GREEN REVOLUTION

Green revolution is world good production doubled with the introduction of a new approach to agriculture. The “Green Revolution” no longer appear to be successful. There are a number reason for this. One reason lies in the expense of the new farming methods. Many farmers can’t afford to buy all the chemicals and equipment. Erosion is another reason for the lower grain production. The large scale farming of a single crop creates the perfect conditions for erosion. Beside that, chemical have other effects that are expensive in the long run. They flow into the ground water, causing pollution and health problems. Finally, the “Green Revolution” has brought about social and political conflict that has interfered with food production. Clearly, it is time to question the methods of the green revolution. Governments and farmers need to find new methods that will better meet the needs of the world’s hungry people and will also be less destructive.
