Without food, man can only live a few weeks at most; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless” (Borlaugh). Food is an essential element for humans, but the food available is limited. In particular, in the 1940s, the population of the South increased significantly. To be able to maintain the food supply, the Green Revolution seems to be the right policy to reduce famine by allowing high-yield agricultural production. Even though the Green Revolution allows enormous production thanks to technological and scientific innovation; this increases the problem of inequality in rural areas due to labor migration. Furthermore, this leads to a higher debt ratio for small farmers due to the imbalance between income and expenses. Furthermore, it causes land degradation and depletion of soil nutrients, which does not allow for biodiversity. In short, modernization theory underestimates that the problem of inequality instead focuses solely on economic growth through the adaptation of technology. Scientific agricultural methods enable high-yield production of agricultural goods. An association between technology and the agricultural sector is growing. The agricultural industry is more integrated Jennifer Clapp, one of the authors of The Rise of a Global Industry, mentions: "The production methods that were developed, often called the industrial agricultural model, involved large capital inflows and included the adoption of new varieties. hybrid seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, monocultures, irrigation infrastructure and mechanization for planning and harvesting” (26). These new types of scientific agricultural methods and tools directly help in harvesting more crops than before, resulting in agricultural surplus. The agricultural surplus is middle of paper ......critical for the Green Revolution to produce a high volume of production. It seems rational for Rostwo to argue, based on modernization theory, that technological adaptation and innovation are important for growth. However, the Green Revolution increases the problem of inequality in rural areas. As Rostow argues, “as society reached… real income per capita increased to such an extent that large numbers of people took control of consumption… the consumption fruits of a mature economy”(15 ). Since the Green Revolution, it seems that the adaptation of technology and growth do not match the increase in consumption. Furthermore, both theories still depend on the third world as an adaptation of technology and synthetic chemicals. The Green Revolution represents a more serious growth problem than ecological disruption and social inequality. Modernization theory therefore underestimates the scope of development..
