# How Did the Green Revolution Change Farming in India?

I’m trying to understand the [Green Revolution in India](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/62205/who-brought-green-revolution-in-india) beyond the headline that crop yields rose. How did the changes in seeds, irrigation, and farm inputs affect different regions and types of farmers?

Was its impact mainly an increase in food production, or did it also reshape rural livelihoods and dependence on water and fertilizers? I’d be interested in historical perspectives that distinguish the early gains from the longer-term effects.
