Green Revolution<br />
• 1944: Norman Borlaug, biggest contributor to Green<br />
Revolution joined Rockefeller Foundation team as the<br />
plant pathologist in Mexico<br />
• 1956: Mexico became self-sufficient in wheat<br />
production by growing more than 40 new, high yielding<br />
& rust-resistant varieties developed by Dr. Borlaug<br />
• 1960’s: Improved wheat varieties gave dramatic<br />
increase in yield in Mexico<br />
• Varieties more responsive to irrigation & chemical<br />
fertilizers<br />
• Soon new rice and maize varieties came up<br />
• 1970’s: spread to millions of third world farmers<br />
• 1990’s: 40% of all farms in third world<br />
- 75% Rice in Asia<br />
- 80% Wheat in third world<br />
- 70% Corn worldwide<br />
• Improved standard of living for millions people worldwide<br />

Green Revolution: Criticisms<br />
• Green Revolution hasn’t<br />
alleviated hunger<br />
• Economic power, land<br />
controlled by few<br />
• Technology benefited wealthy<br />
therefore, increased inequity<br />
• More hunger and more food<br />
at same time<br />

Green Revolution: Criticisms<br />
• Food Insecurity of poor not<br />
addressed<br />
• Cash Crops: food flows from<br />
the poor and hungry nations<br />
to the rich and well-fed<br />
nations<br />
• Was not sustainable<br />
- builds imbalance resource<br />
base on which agriculture<br />
depends<br />

There are still problems<br />
• Need good land (mostly wealthy<br />
own)<br />
• Agrochemicals bad for health &<br />
environment<br />
• Expensive inputs: profits to<br />
global chemical companies<br />
• Rural people displaced from land<br />
• Mechanization reduced<br />
agricultural jobs<br />
• Not ecologically sustainable:<br />
depletes soil, pesticide race<br />

Second Green Revolution<br />
It has been reported that by 2020 “cereal<br />
production will need to increase by 41%,<br />
meat by 63% and roots and tubers by<br />
40%...without any significant expansion of<br />
agricultural area.”<br />
• Technology led:<br />
Focused on GM<br />
seeds<br />
• Labor intensive<br />
• Non Farm Agri Sector<br />
included<br />
• Resource<br />
Conservation<br />

Second Green Revolution - Concerns<br />
• To meet the challenge of increasing food<br />
insecurity<br />
• To deal with the new economic reality i.e. the<br />
dominant role of the private sector by<br />
commercializing its agricultural innovations<br />
• Food insecurity is grounded in poverty a way<br />
has to be found<br />
• To secure for poor farmers the productivity<br />
benefits of the new biotechnology,<br />
• Satisfying the share-holders of the lifesciences<br />
companies which are investing in this<br />
technology.<br />

Concern: Soil<br />
• Depleting organic carbon contributes<br />
- Degradation of soil health<br />
- Soil texture<br />
- Decrease in productivity<br />
• Organization to look into<br />
- Data generation & tracking of soil<br />
nutrient changes<br />
- Nutrient status & uptake correlation for<br />
crops, progressively improve soil health<br />
• Need to improve the beneficial micro<br />
organisms to control soil pathogen<br />
causing the mortality of the standing<br />
crops<br />

F & V- Food Safety Issues<br />
• Pesticide Residue levels - Minimum Residue limits are<br />
announced for F & V.<br />
• MRL had become a non-tariff trade barrier for European<br />
exports.<br />
• Biological – Insect infestation, fungal growth etc.,<br />
• Microbial contaminations – for select F & V.<br />
• An average consumer was demanding the safety<br />
guarantee of food that they were buying from leading<br />
retailers in Europe and UK.<br />
• Global GAP standard had come into force with the<br />
initiative of retailers as part of consumer assurance.<br />
Simultaneously Private initiatives eg Deepak GAP<br />

What a marketable produce should meet<br />
• Nutritional Value of produce<br />
• Safety of produce<br />
• Display of produce<br />
• Shelf-life of produce<br />
• Competitiveness of produce in the market<br />
• Sustainability towards environment<br />

Key Steps to Encounter the Challenges<br />
1. Paradigm shift in attitude<br />
Yield Increase<br />
2. Orbit shift in crop husbandry<br />
Low input-low output<br />
Crop Nutrition Solution<br />
High input-high output<br />
3. Sustainable high Income & productivity – Prime Goal<br />
4. Guiding principle – Producing as per Market Need<br />
5. Flexible approach & quick modifications in approach matching to the<br />
dynamism of changing Consumer preferences – to be considered<br />
as important success indicator<br />

Conclusion…<br />
The very fact that some people are not been privileged in<br />
getting the benefit of Green Revolution (inadequate food<br />
supply & balanced nutrition) brings into question whether<br />
the Green Revolution has fulfilled its social objectives.<br />
So, overall I feel that India, has not taken the complete<br />
benefit of Green Revolution whereas further ample<br />
opportunities are thrown open to us with emerging<br />
technologies & good scientific talent<br />
….Hoping for diversified growth, fast implementation &<br />
political willingness to reap benefit of Green Revolution II<br />
