The Green Revolution was a revolution in the usage of advanced agricultural technology in the middle of the 20th century which helped keep food production in pace with the world population growth. Chemicals and pesticides were invented to be used to kill the pests which had substantially contributed to the decrease in food production. However, the consumption of these chemicals by humans in some cases may be increasing the likelihood of cancer in some of the rural villages using them.

  • The Green Revolution was a revolution in the usage of advanced agricultural technology in the middle of the 20th century which helped keep food production in pace with the world population growth. Chemicals and pesticides were invented to be used to kill the pests which had substantially contributed to the decrease in food production. However, the consumption of these chemicals by humans in some cases may be increasing the likelihood of cancer in some of the rural villages using them. Poor farming practices including non-compliance to usage of masks and over-usage of the chemicals by un-educated farmers in poor countries compound this situation.
