ANSWER -:
_______________________
Green revolution, great increase in
production of food grains (especially
wheat and rice) that resulted in large
part from the introduction into
developing countries of new, high-
yielding varieties, beginning in the
mid-20th century. Its early dramatic
successes were in Mexico and the
Indian subcontinent. The new varieties
require large amounts of chemical
fertilisers and pesticides to produce
their high yields, raising concerns about
cost and potentially harmful
environmental effects. Poor farmers,
unable to afford the fertilizers and
pesticides, have often reaped even
lower yields with these grains than with
the older strains, which were better
adapted to local conditions and had
some resistance to pests and diseases.
