The document discusses the Green Revolution which refers to initiatives between the 1960s and 1980s that viewed agriculture as commercial rather than subsistence. It involved the use of high-yield variety seeds invented by Norman Borlaug to greatly increase food production. Methods included multi-cropping, superior seeds, irrigation, pesticides, fertilizers, and machines. The Green Revolution led to increased production and economic growth but also issues like pollution, soil erosion, disease, and unemployment. While saving lives, it was not environmentally sustainable long term.

2. What is Green Revolution?
 Green Revolution refers to a series of research, development, and
technology transfer initiatives
 Between the 1960s and 1980s
 Agriculture was viewed as more of a commercial sector than a
subsistence one
 The term "Green Revolution" was first used in 1968 by former
USAID director William Gaud
 Refers to the use of high-yield variety (HYV) seeds, which were
invented by the crop pathologist Norman E. Borlaug (Father of
GR).

3. Methods used in Green Revolution
1. Multi cropping system
2. Seeds with Superior Genetics
3. Proper irrigation system
4. HYV seeds
5. Pesticides and Fertilizers
6. Modern Machines
7. Expansion of farming areas

5. Effects of Green Revolution
 Increase in Production
 Capitalistic farming
 Rural employment
 Import of Food Grains
 Development of Industries
 Economic Growth
 Thinking of Farmers

6. Issues regarding Green
Revolution
 Pollution and erosion of soil
 Pollution of water
 Unemployment among uneducated farmers
 Deadly disease
 Harmful for farmers
 Consumption may be adverse

7. Failures of green revolution

8. Impacts on Supply Chain
Management
 Profiting from Being Green
 Optimized Supply Chain
 Improved Public Image

9. Conclusion
 Green Revolution has done a lot of positive things, saving the
lives of millions peoples.
 Also exponentially increasing the yield of food crops.
 But environmental degradation makes the Green Revolution an
overall inefficient, short-term solution to the problem of food
insecurity.
 So, more sustainable and environmental friendly system of
cultivation needs to be practiced.
