Question 10

Enumerate any three shortcomings of the Green Revolution.

Answer

Three shortcomings of the Green Revolution are as follows:

  1. Small farmers could not afford the expensive inputs. Use of machines led to severe unemployment.
  2. Overuse of chemicals damaged the quality of the soil. Ground water reserves got depleted due to overuse for irrigational purposes.
  3. There was increase in production of only specific food grains such as wheat and rice. Production of other crops remained unaffected.
