The Green Revolution more than doubled agricultural output in just three decades. Still, there is growing evidence that such gains were inherently unsustainable, based on “brown” technology, particularly inorganic fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, irrigation, and mechanisation.

Agriculture-new era• Climate change
multiplies the risks farmers face.
• Land degradation, water scarcity and pollution, and biodiversity loss further deplete the natural resources on which rural communities depend.
• Increasing market volatility and consumer demand- on land add to existing vulnerabilities.

Some 2 billion people live on an estimated 525 million small farms. 87 per cent of these farms are in Asia. Already suffering from high rates of absolute poverty and undernourishment, the rural poor are most at risks in the face of global scarcity trends.
