==Key Idea #2 Challenges ==

==Key Idea #2 Challenges ==

The Green revolution has been a blessing by helping the country achieve rapid and dramatic increases in food production and productivity. However this has not been an unmixed blessing. The ill effects of the green revolution (excessive use of fertilisers, pesticides, ground water) is becoming more and more evident and this needs to be addressed.Thirdly, the variety/species of crops has reduced and the 'high yield' varieties have become very dominant, this may not be good from a bio diversity point of view.

==Key Idea #3==

==Key Idea #3 Genetically Modified Food==

What are the key ideas to be covered

GM (genetically modified) food is the recent technology seen by some as the method to increase food production, and to make crops less susceptible to pests. However, there are others, who see GM food as a danger, with unforseen implications for the environment and for the farmer community. While the chapter does not discuss GM technologies, it is useful to become aware of this concept.
