India's Agriculture under the Perspective of the Green Revolution

By Nira Dejust

This book deals with the problem of how agriculture in India can establish food security, while facing a fast growing population. For this purpose the Green Revolution was established in India. Its goal was to increase the productivity of the crops by the way of industrializing agriculture in order to achieve food security. On the short-run the Green Revolution proved to be a suitable tool to increase food production, on the long run however it exhausted the soil, the groundwater, polluted the water with the chemicals that were used for the crop and was not sustainable.
