Green Revolution is a new approach to agriculture to doubled world food production. Green Revolution involved the large scale cultivation of a new types of grain and the extensive use of chemicals and farm machinery.
However, the Green revolution no longer appear to be successful because cannot keep up with the grow of population. The reason is due to cost, there is expensive of chemical fertilizers, chemical insecticides, and watering system. Many farmers cannot afford to buy all the chemicals and equipment. Erosion is another reason for the lower grain production.
Finally, the Green Revolution has brought about social and political conflict that has interfered with food production. The problem is only the larger landowners can afford to make the necessary investments for maximum production of new grain. This way make the larger landowner become ever richer.
Because of the Green Revolution has many disadvantages, governments and farmers need to find a new methods that will better meet the needs of the world’s hungry people and also be less destructive.
