green revolution

Yes, technology is very important to increase food production, but I think that it will only increase the quantity while decreasing the quality of the food. I value quality instead of quality, but then we do need a lot of quantity of food to feed the whole world.
Technology is very important t increase the food supply because the new machines have made it possible to plant and cut the crops faster. The chemical fertilizers have made it possible to increase the soil's ability to nourish plants artificially. New technology has made it possible to breed new diseases-resistant, high yielding crops and thus enabling us to increase food production. Without new technologies, it used to take a lot of time to plant the crops by hand then pick them by hand. And the new disease-resistant crops also help increase the food production as otherwise some of the crops might get damaged by the disease. Therefore, new technologies are very important in increasing the quantity of the food.
