All Revolutions including Green Revolution should be shunned !!!??? All revolutions are followed by great pain & costs to humanity. Thank God, Indian culture does not foster REVOLUTIONS !!!! Why Ireland starved !!??? The danger of relying on fewer and fewer species was cruelly demonstrated in 1845 when potato blight wiped out the crop and caused widespread famine in Ireland. Over a thousand potato varieties existed in South America, but only two were grown in Ireland. When blight struck, there were no other varieties to plant. More recently the Green Revolution of the 1970s selected the most productive and genetically uniform varieties in preference to plants more adapted to the specific conditions of the world’s different regions. Differences of soil and climate were then corrected with chemicals. This led to the global spread of homogeneous plants and the loss of many local varieties. - See more at: thedemocraticdaily/2013/07/27/climate-change-indigenous-peoples-answers/#sthash.SvFrjdGO.dpuf
