Ecological & health disturbances have surfaced like soil & water pollution and increase in number of diseases like cancer, diabetes, blood pressure, skin allergy, digestion and metabolism related problems, etc. Recent researches and media reports suggest that we are facing these problems due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers, weedicides and pesticides during farming. Environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva has written extensively about the social, political and economic impacts of the Green Revolution in Punjab. According to Dr. Shiva, the Green Revolution\’s reliance on heavy use of chemical inputs and monocultures has resulted in water scarcity, vulnerability to pests, and incidents of violent conflict and social marginalization. iii It has resulted in adverse health effects for both consumers and farmers as well. For example – endosulfan & its effects on nervous system’, chlordimeform (cancer, bladder damage), DBCP (cancer risk, male infertility), chlorpyrifos (headache, digestive problems), etc. Even, MS Swaminathan – a cult figure in Indian agriculture and pioneer green revolution now admits that organic farming is the only way forward. He has coined the term ‘evergreen farming’ for this purposeiv. He strongly advocates for suitability and farming based on natural principles. He says – “Organic farming helps to improve soil fertility and avoids the use of pesticides, which get into the food chain. So, biologically and nutritionally organic farming confers many benefits.”
