What are the effects of green revolution in Africa?

The Green Revolution in Africa aimed to increase agricultural productivity through the introduction of high-yielding crop varieties, improved irrigation, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides. While it led to increased food production in some regions, the effects were mixed; many smallholder farmers faced challenges such as high input costs and limited access to technology. Environmental concerns also arose, including soil degradation and loss of biodiversity. Overall, while the Green Revolution improved food security for some, it did not universally benefit all African communities.
