Explanation:

Advantages of Green Revolution

1. It allows agricultural operations on a large scale. The Green Revolution has brought farming to a massive scale. Crops are being grown on an industrial scale even by the smaller farming community.

2. It has the potential to be able to grow any crop anywhere. This innovative farming process has made it possible for agriculture to be done almost everywhere. Green Revolution has made it possible for agriculture to be more doable everywhere.

3. It eliminates the need to fallow lands. This agricultural method has allowed farmers to re-plant similar crops without fallowing their lands, which is known to be a costly process. Though there are some crops on which soil still needing to be fallowed, the Green Revolution has certainly made farming cost-efficient.

Disadvantages of Green Revolution

1. It can cause pests and weeds to develop hazards. This modern method of farming is believed to cause the emergence of poisonous weeds and pests that are difficult to control, there is also the concern of cross pollination between genetically modified organisms and traditional plants that could result in invasive species.

2. It employs mono-culturing. One of the biggest arguments against this modern technology is that it uses mono-culturing. This practice is known to require large tracts of land, which are not often available, intensive amounts of fertilizers and large volumes of water, bring about difficulties to farmers.

3. It would have difficulties with varied soil type by location. As the Green Revolution does not take into consideration the type of soil for farming, only considering the area and doing what it needs for crop cultivation, it does not do anything to ensure soil fertility is replenished or retained.
