Effect of GR in brazil

The Green Revolution transformed agriculture in Brazil by boosting productivity through new crop varieties and modern techniques. This shift improved food security but also raised concerns about environmental sustainability due to changes in land use patterns. As Brazil continues to navigate these consequences, there's a need for a balanced approach to address both the benefits and challenges of modern farming practices.
