Overall, the Green Revolution failed to address the systemic issues within the agricultural sector and instead perpetuated social and economic disparities. By focusing on high-yield crop varieties and industrial farming techniques, it neglected the importance of sustainable agriculture and local food systems. Additionally, it worsened income inequality by benefiting large-scale commercial farmers at the expense of small-scale farmers. These failures ultimately led to negative social consequences such as job losses, increased hunger, economic hardships, and social unrest.
