===Notes for teachers===
 +
The Green revolution was initiated at a time when India was facing serious problem of food insecurity (insufficient production to meet demand). Hence the revolution is seen as a very important event, which helped India achieve food security. Though now the production of food is in excess of the demand expressed, however, even now, starvation or malnutrition is still not eradicated in India. Students can read more about the specific varieties of crops that were created/designed through agricultural research then

 +
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.

==Key Idea #3 Genetically Modified Food==
 +
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.
