Detailed Solution

The demerits of the Green Revolution are that it resulted in land degradation and needed more irrigation.
The use of pesticides and other chemical fertilisers during production affects the crops and their consumers. These seeds need more fertilisers and irrigation than traditional seeds. While the excessive use of these chemicals and pesticides caused land degradation when used on the crops. If used in the longer term, it destroys land fertility. Thus, that land can not be used further for anything. Small farmers with only a small piece of land can become landless within a few years of using these inputs.
