    The negative impacts of the Green Revolution include increased pollution of water reservoirs and harm to beneficial insects and wildlife due to greater use of fertilizers and pesticides, deteriorated health for agricultural workers, and less effective use of modern supplies by illiterate farmers which also impacted water regulation. Other negative consequences involve disproportionate chemical use leading to further pollution, more livestock diseases, soil issues like erosion and toxicity, water problems like deterioration and global warming from overusing agricultural technology, higher cultivation costs, reduced indigenous seeds, toxic water killing aquatic life, and lower production in dry areas due to greater water needs.

    Negative impacts of Green revolution:

    • Increased use of fertilizers and pesticides has polluted water


    reservoirs, killed beneficial insects and wildlife.
    • This has deteriorated health of agricultural workers as well.
    • Due to lack of proper knowledge and training for modern supplies,
    illiterate farmers resulted in less efficacy of fertilizers and regulation
    of water sources.
    • Disproportionate use of chemicals result in pollution.
    • Significant increase in livestock diseases.
    • Less fertilized soils, soil erosion, toxicity of fertilizers in soil,
    deterioration of water supplies, global warming are some of the
    negative impacts of overuse of agricultural technology
    • Increased expenditure spent on cultivation of crops.
    • Indigenous seeds are much bigger than synthetic or genetically
    modified seeds.
    • Toxicity of water leads to death of aquatic organisms.
    • High water requirement due to which production decreases up to
    10% in dry areas.
