While the First Green Revolution (FGR) in India saw the advent of agribusiness in the role of providing technological inputs for agricultural revolution, the Second Green Revolution (SGR) is directed at building the dominance of multinational agribusiness corporations in conjunction with the Indian corporate sector at every level of the country’s food chain. The article draws upon the experiences of the states targeted by FGR to conclude that the SGR cannot but have catastrophic consequences in the given socio-economic milieu of the states to which SGR is targeted. An attempt has also been made to suggest alternative strategies for ensuring the food security in India.
