Green Revolution Future Food Unsecurity


The Disadvantages of Green Revolution
                                                             Green Revolution
This term is related to agriculture and level of its production. The term green revolution refers to advancement in agriculture. It  lead to increase in production of agricultural products by using advanced technique, materials related to physiology, genetics, growth pattern etc. Many countries were facing food shortage 1960s. Many scientists were working under different institution for the development of high yielding varieties. At the same time Dr. Norman E. Borlaug working in CIMMYT, known as father of green revolution introduced dwarf high yielding variety of wheat. This caused availability of nutritious food in the countries. Many other researches under different institution enhanced the effect causing food sufficiency called as green revolution. The change of agriculture pattern from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture with increased use of high yielding varieties, chemical fertilizers, pesticide, insecticide and irrigation can be termed as green revolution.
                                                                                                                                                                                        

Demerits of Green Revolution
A.      Losses of local varieties: introduction to improved varieties caused the disappearance of of several local and native varieties. The diversity in the number of the varieties is reduced.
B.      Dependency on the other countries: due to unavailability of the developed infrastructure dependency for the all the input used is increased.
C.      Disease in one crop can cause total crop failure of the crop in large area.
D.      Market failure: the introduction of high yielding varieties, the price of commodity is reduced and the farmer growing local varieties are having less marginal return. They have to quit the business as other option if he/she is not using high yielding varieties.
E.       Soil fertility: Increased use of chemical fertilizer, pesticides etc. Caused soil fertility to decrease. It is said that many pesticides used in farm field are injurious directly or indirectly including decrease in quality of the soil.
F.       Decrease in quality: the high yielding varieties are poor in quality than the local varieties due to several reasons. Decrease in quantity of amino acids and its quality, increase in the quantity of water are some of the reason.
G.     The improved seeds for vitamins,and nutrients are not required, the required is supplied with local vegetable, fruit etc
we have several opportunities to be recovered from  hunger problem, food insecurity. We can enjoy the several natural beauties without modifying its main character. Green revolution and genetically modified organisms were our need but it is not today. Let’s do no more change in nucleus. Let's beautify nature in it's own way.

A proposal on Bottleneck of Fish Farming in Nepal 1.1           Introduction Market exists in any society where exchange of goods and services takes place. It is useful in countering non-economic obstacles such as people’s value, attitudes and way of life which do not alter in the face of economic opportunity but instead can prevent the pace of development being maintained. In the area of social marketing, the design, implementation and control of social ideas offer a powerful tool (Kotler and Zaltman, 1971) In the context of Nepal, the primary cause of lagging behind in course of economical development is lack of well marketing. Many strategies are failed due to lack of well marketing and extension. The concept of organized fish farming was developed in 1981/1982 with the start of the aquaculture development project support services and credit facilities have been extended to entrepreneurs in the fish marketing business.
