The green revolution in India about 50 years ago transformed India's image then as begging bowl to bread basket. This transformation during the 1960s took just about 4 years. The yield increases achieved in wheat and then in rice which occurred in just about half decade is far in excess of the yield increases during the preceding 4000 years. This remarkable feat was achieved with the leadership of the author using the dwarf wheat types which had been produced by Norman Borlaug in Mexico. The research and development of green revolution of wheat and rice at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi was led by the author along with his team of students and co-workers. He has published over 100 papers on green revolution and the ever-green revolution which is a refinement of the former. This book is a compilation of just about 40 of his numerous research papers, monographs and books published by him on this subject. The papers in this book bring out the scientific basis of the modification of the plant type so as to be responsive to exogenous addition of chemical fertilizers and irrigation. The ideal plant type enables capture of adequate sunlight and using the chemical fertilizers added to the soil, produce substantial photosynthetic starch. And because the plants have short and thick culm, they are able to withstand enormous amounts of grains in their ears. This indeed was the basis of breaking the yield barriers associated with native varieties. The book also brings out that green revolution had established the food security at the national level but not at the individual household levels of millions of resource-poor rural small and marginal farming, fishing and landless families. Further green revolution was commodity-centric and the manner of its practice led to environmental degradation and social inequities. This author realized as early as 1972 that system of agriculture in India should be designed to fight both the famines of food and rural livelihoods. In pursuit of it, this author further designed an evergreen revolution with systems approach. What this means is providing concurrent attention to ecological foundations of agriculture and the livelihoods of the rural people. The book also brings out that green revolution was a team effort involving scientists, policy makers, administrators, farmers and students. This book is an outstanding example of green revolution providing a breathing space by putting the cereal grain production rate ahead of the population growth rate and then when food security has been adequately established, the system is changed to achieve productivity in perpetuity without causing environmental and social harm.

Despite efforts by the central and state governments, India remains home to the largest number of malnourished children and adults in the world. Authored by M. S. Swaminathan, a world scientist of rare distinction, this book holistically considers the problem of food production in India. Arguing for the use of environmentally sustainable agriculture--referred to as the "evergreen revolution"--this compilation addresses a number of ways to attain a hunger-free India, such as monsoon management, safeguarding biological diversity, and food security.

Are you wondering why our agriculture sector or industry is lagging behind more than it ought to have been till date in terms of growth and development and its contribution to our GDP despite the government’s plans, policies, initiatives, programs, schemes, research, efforts, assistance, etc.? And also, why our farmers are in a distressed state continuously? In this stunning book, CA. Asheesh Seshadri identifies the reasons for the above, suggests a solution to make the agriculture industry robust and perpetual in terms of growth, development, and contribution to GDP through his idea of “evergreen revolution,” which is explained in detail in this book. In the present situation, he stresses that there is an urgent need for another Green Revolution for our country, and this book envisages another revolution in the field of agriculture, which will be evergreen/perpetual for the present and future generations. This book is a must-read as it’s a game-changer: • For visionary political leaders who are capable and have the willingness to transform their states or the country, for example, Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi, etc. ? For any entrepreneur across the globe as this will be a disruptive business model. ? For any investor, small, medium, or big, who gets an opportunity to invest their funds safely and earn a good return on investment (ROI). ? Which transforms the lives of farmers in every way (especially in our country). ? For any budding entrepreneurs as this opens up a lot of incidental business opportunities like agro-based industries, logistics, real estate, education, medical, entertainment, etc. ? For students, research fellows of agriculture colleges, universities, institutions, etc., wherein they get an opportunity to contribute innovatively for the greater success or smooth functioning of the activities involved in the implementation of the idea. ? That changes the destiny of our country and can make it a “Suvarn Bharat” or “Golden India.” ? For any other country, its leaders, policymakers, agriculture institutions or organizations, to adopt this idea and prosper perpetually. If the author’s favorite social-business concept method of taking it forward is adopted, then it allows every citizen of our country to participate and be a part of this Evergreen Revolution in one way or another, paving the way for inclusive growth and development way. It embodies “Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas,” making us self-reliant.

During the last 100 years, the worldwide yields of cereal grains, such as wheat and rice, have increased dramatically. Since the 1950s, developments in plant breeding science have been heralded as a "Green Revolution" in modern agriculture. But what factors have enabled and promoted these technical changes? And what are the implications for the future of agriculture? This new book uses a framework of political ecology and environmental history to explore the "Green Revolution's" emergence during the 20th century in the United States, Mexico, India, and Britain. It argues that the national security planning efforts of each nation were the most important forces promoting the development and spread of the "Green Revolution"; when viewed in the larger scheme, this period can be seen as the latest chapter in the long history of wheat use among humans, which dates back to the neolithic revolution. Efforts to reform agriculture and mitigate some of the harsh environmental and social consequences of the "Green Revolution" have generally been insensitive to the deeply embedded nature of high yielding agriculture in human ecology and political affairs. This important insight challenges those involved in agriculture reform to make productivity both sustainable and adequate for a growing human population.
