About the Book
Agricultural Input Management and Environmental Sustainability is a critical work that evaluates the challenges and limitations of the Green Revolution in India, focusing on the negative environmental impacts of intensive agricultural practices. The book highlights the relationship between improved crop varieties, higher input levels (fertilizers, water, plant protection chemicals), and sustainability issues in agricultural systems.
While the Green Revolution brought about substantial increases in food grain production, the costs associated with these achievements have led to significant environmental degradation, particularly in soil health, water resources, and nutrient management. Despite the overuse of fertilizers and other inputs, there is a reported decline in yields in several Green Revolution regions in India, which is attributed to soil degradation, multi-nutrient deficiencies, and the build-up of pests and diseases.
