Answer:

The green revolution was awsome to achieve global food security in the 1960, but it also conveyed two important problems: first, the use of big amounts of chemical fertilizers that contaminate our soil and water resources, and second, a decrease in the genetic variability of the crops. These two concerns were even worse for developing countries
