The promise of the Green Revolution was that it would end hunger through the magic of chemicals and genetic engineering. Dealing with the root causes of poverty that contribute to hunger takes a very long time, somehow it has contributed some extent. But how far it is ecologically sustainable?
Green revolution is very crucial aspect for the large population and people are engaged in agriculture work. These all people will get get several options for producing different species and with more yield which will definitely push agro-ecology in coming time. More and more investment should be on extension and implementation of green revolution techniques in farmland.

The promise of the Green Revolution was that it would end hunger through the magic of chemicals and genetic engineering. The reasoning goes like this: the miracle seeds of the Green Revolution increase grain yields; higher yields mean more income for poor farmers, helping them to climb out of poverty, and more food means less hunger.
