Green Revolution Technologies have made India self-sufficient in food production but unable to sustain soil productivity. A quantum leap in production of over 100 million tones was achieved in just two decades (1960-1970).

High costs of inputs have turned farming into a loss-making enterprise while leading to severe environmental degradation. Contents Foreword Acknow...
