However, “Green Revolution” – Is it green?, when the consequences have appeared after many years of using chemical fertilizers: Land degradation, Reduced biodiversity, Chemical abuse, Food poisoning and especially environmental pollution. So, Organic farming is extremely urgent, The work of "returning green" to the country is not only our right but also our responsibility.
