Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 2.7, University of Heidelberg (South Asia Institute), course: Environmental Sustainability in South Asia: Historical Perspectives, Recent Debates and Dilemmas, language: English, abstract: Bangladesh has made a remarkable success in the agricultural production sector. Without the mechanization, using High Yielding Verities (HYV), and so-called 'Green Revolution' it would have never been possible to maintain the growth and development of the agricultural sector of this country. In addition, it is the key to maintaining the national food-population balance. This current paper attempts to investigate the consequences of 'Green Revolution' on crops diversity in Bangladesh. This paper attempts to show the pattern of changes that have taken place in different sectors of Bangladesh. It includes population growth, labor absorption, and land-use in agriculture, food security, nutrition, income distribution, rural poverty, and policy. Most of them are upwards sloping growth but the crops diversity in agriculture is decreasing in Bangladesh. That is the main reason for making the agriculture more vulnerable to unsustainability.

Book Description
First published in 1989, this book deals with the impact of cereal production upon the Third World, specifically ‘Modern Varieties’ (MVs). Using evidence from plant breeding, economics and nutrition science, the authors seek to pinpoint what has been achieved, what has gone wrong and what needs to be done in future. Although the technical innovations of MVs mean more employment, cheaper food and less risk for small farmers, the reduction in crop diversity increases the risk of danger from pests and though MVs enlarge cereal stocks, many are too poor to afford them. The book concludes that technical breakthroughs alone won’t solve deep-rooted social problems and that only new policies and research priorities will increase the choices, assets and power of the rural poor.

Book Description
The process of agricultural development in Bangladesh over the last fifty years provides the focus for this text. Looking at the complex environmental, economic, and social issues surrounding this country's agriculture, the authors consider the prospects for sustaining agricultural production. Alauddin (economics, U. of Queensland, Australia) and Hossain (economics, U. of Dhaka, Bangladesh) discuss such topics as land use patterns, the impact of technology, property rights, and the relationship between agricultural growth and rural poverty. c.
