Description

Explore the complex legacy of global agricultural shifts with The Green Revolution Revisited: Critique and Alternatives. This Routledge Library Edition examines the massive increase in cereal crop yields seen during the 1960s and the subsequent criticisms that emerged in the 1970s. Readers will gain a deep understanding of why the original Green Revolution faced scrutiny, specifically regarding its heavy reliance on intensive irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides. The text also addresses the social impacts and the consequences of the monoculture approach used during that era. By looking at the developments of the early 1980s, this book analyzes the response to these challenges under the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Originally published in 1987, this volume serves as a vital resource for those studying economic policy, development, and the history of agricultural science. It provides a historical perspective on how international research groups attempted to address the environmental and social issues raised by previous farming methods.
