Reading Comprehension — quick quiz

Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows. The Green Revolution, which began in the 1960s in India, transformed agricultural practices through the introduction of high-yielding variety seeds, chemical fertilizers, and modern irrigation techniques. While it significantly increased food grain production and helped India achieve self-sufficiency in food, it also brought unintended consequences. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers led to soil degradation and water pollution. Additionally, the benefits were not uniformly distributed; affluent farmers in well-irrigated regions prospered, while small farmers in rain-fed areas saw little improvement. Critics argue that the Revolution prioritized short-term productivity over long-term sustainability. What does the author imply about the Green Revolution?
