1. Why was the implementation of the green revolution inappropriate in Africa at that
time?
 Answer:
Sub-Saharan Africa is not suitable for implementing green revolution technology due
to poor infrastructure, high transportation costs, limited investment in irrigation, and
pricing and marketing policies that punish farmers, as well as high investment costs in
implementing technology.

2. Explain the negative impact of the green revolution?

Answer: The green revolutio resulted in environmental degradation due to the
excessive and inappropriate use of fertilizers and pesticides polluting waterways,
poisoning agricultural workers, and killing beneficial insects and other wildlife. The
green revolution also increased income inequality, unequal distribution of assets, and
exacerbated absolute poverty. Smallholders are not affected or disadvantaged because
the green revolution resulted in lower product prices, higher input prices, and attempts
by landlords to increase rents or force tenants off the land. The Green Revolution
encouraged unnecessary mechanization, thereby depressing rural wages and
employment.

3. The term “Green Revolution” is to describe?

Answer:

phenomenal growth in agriculture.

4. What did scientists need to do to achieve higher yields for rice and wheat?
Answer :
To achieve higher yields for rice and wheat, scientists needed to develop plants that
were more responsive to plant nutrients and that had shorter, stiffer straw to support
the weight of heavier heads of grain. They also needed to develop varieties that could
mature quicker and grow at any time of the year, thereby permitting farmers to grow
more crops each year on the same land. New varieties also needed to be resistant to
major pests and diseases,which flourish under intensive farming conditions, and to
retain desirable cooking and consumption traits.
