In view of the current food crisis, it is said, that we need another green revolution. Highlight the major limitations of the earlier green revolution.

Limitations of green revolution :

$(i)$ The Green Revolution succeeded increases the food supply but, yet it was not enough to feed the growing human population.

$(ii)$ Increased yields have partly been due to the use of improved crop varieties, but mainly due to the use of better management practices and use of agrochemicals (fertilisers and pesticides).

$(iii)$ However, for farmers in the developing world, agrochemicals are often too expensive, and further increases in yield with existing varieties are not possible using conventional breeding.

$(iv)$ Use of agrochemicals causes eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems and biomagnification in terrestrial ecosystems.

$(v)$ Water logging and soil salinity are some of the problems that have come in the wake of green revolution
