abstract: The Green Revolution initially resulted in high-yielding cereal varieties responsive to increased inputs that addressed the food needs of several countries, particularly
those in Asia. However, after three decades, farmers have started experiencing difficulty in maintaining such high yields, even with increasing levels of inputs. Second-generation issues, fall-outs of the Green Revolution, have now surfaced. These issues include problems associated with soil quality, sustainability, and environmental degradation. Prior to the Green Revolution sustenance agriculture was relatively free from such problems, but it operated at a low level of productivity, that could not sustain the food needs of Asia's evergrowing
population.
