Green revolution was first introduced in Mexico in 1945. It allowed food production to keep pace with population growth.Social and ecology affectations were found in excess .
India was in brink of famine. The green revolution ,was brought into effect by the agricultural scientist M.S. Swaminathan. Rice yields per hectare multiplied thrice , four times in India. Wheat also grew abundantly in Punjab. The revolution was a grand success. India achieved a satisfying mark in the production of agricultural yield.
This was made possible, by the usage of pesticides, fertilisers , and irrigation techniques.The soil which had been treated with natural manure, like cow dung, goat and hen excreta,dried waste received from the degrading disposable, like vegetable left overs, molasses, coconut exteriors, reacted superbly when meted out with this chemical compounds.The production of rice ,wheat and maize rose in leaps . The farmer’s delight elevated in bounds.
The prosperous progress was in high swing for three or more decades.The reverse osmosis is attacking the glory with ardent fervour and resounding vigour. The land, which has obeyed Man’s command, is rebelling in animated violence. The fecundity of the resources has been wickedly spoilt by the reckless practice administered by the principles of Green Revolution.The artificial nutrition applied to the soil has robbed the reproductive capacity of the land. The out put is a contaminated content of chemicals.The consumer is exposed to this ill founded extravaganza. He ,unknowingly partakes food which is a wholesome product of pesticides , nitrates, sulphates, and phosphates. Unwittingly , he succumbs to the gruesome threat. He loses his immunity. He contrives diseases which are highly detrimental.
The green revolution is a short span recovery , which ultimately turned into a ruthless endeavour ravaging the provider and the consumer.
