After the Green Revolution, when technology and the notion of chemical agriculture were introduced to Bangladesh, it seems that the gross production of the main grain, rice, has increased. It has, however, created a large negative impact in the rural areas which are very serious for farmers and the natural environment.

Chemical agricultural is only oriented toward economic profit. It takes no consideration of ecological perspective; it is totally anti-natural and destructive. Consequently this agricultural technology creates many problems.

Soil degradation, increase in production costs, pest problems, health problems and environmental pollution by agricultural chemical poisons (pesticides, fungicides, etc.), and food degradation are some of the problems. Manu farmers and other people are now beginning to realize the scale of these problems.
