Abstract:

The Green Revolution, a set of agricultural improvements implemented in the mid-twentieth century, significantly improved food production and relieved hunger for millions worldwide. This review study investigates the Green Revolution's diverse environmental implications. Without a doubt, introducing high-yield crops, irrigation systems, and synthetic fertilizers, has increased agricultural production and raised environmental issues. These include soil deterioration, water shortages, biodiversity loss, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. This research investigates the difficult balance between the benefits of increased food security and the environmental costs, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agriculture techniques to prevent negative consequences.
