Part B: 1) Agroecology and the Green revolution both want to increase productivity. 2) Often the same crop is grown on the same land year after year. Soil breaks down and washes away. Fewer varieties of same plant are grown. This limits the varieties with useful genetic qualities 3) Irrigation systems use ground water faster than nature replaces it and moving water is expensive. 4) Pesticides destroy harmful insects, but they also kill helpful ones while causing health and pollution problems. Pests can develop the ability to resist chemicals over time.
