The Green Revolution was a significant advancement in agricultural technology that enabled a massive increase in the production of cereals, especially wheat and rice, during the mid-20th century, thereby preventing catastrophic famines. It is widely touted as proof that humanity can innovate its way out of every crisis. But this view neglects the tremendous harm caused by modern agriculture.

“Pretty much whatever we humans do, to some extent our actions tend to have negative consequences for the environment. In turn, this implies that, other things equal, the fewer of us there are the greater are our chances of achieving a measure of sustainability.”

–Tim Dyson, PhD
