Which of the following is NOT one of the consequences of the Green Revolution?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rising prices and a shift in the mode (grain) of the payment of agricultural workers from payment in cash to payment in kind.

The correct answer is: Rising prices and a shift in the mode (grain) of the payment of agricultural workers from payment in cash to payment in kind.

This statement is incorrect. A key consequence of the Green Revolution was the monetization of the rural economy. The system of paying agricultural workers in kind (with a share of the harvest) largely gave way to a cash-based payment system. While the Green Revolution did lead to increased wages and employment for agricultural workers and significantly widened the income gap between rich and poor farmers, the shift in the mode of payment was from grain to cash, not the other way around.
