Abstract: Abstract While agricultural production has increased in selected crops and in some regions in India, environmental issues like salinity, water logging, leaching of soil, and contamination of rivers have become serious in these regions. Food preferences have been distorted in a way detrimental to health and nutrition with problems like diabetes becoming endemic. This lecture takes the position that all these are the unintended results of our agricultural policy. This lecture, therefore, highlights the changing role of the agrarian economy in India over the years, focusing specifically on the contribution and unintended consequences of the Green Revolution in the country.
