The evaluation of socio-economic and environmental impacts of technological changes in agriculture, particularly in Bangladesh, is crucial for understanding how advancements affect rural communities and ecosystems. This paper adopts a holistic approach to analyze these impacts, focusing on the Green Revolution's contributions to agricultural productivity, income distribution, and environmental sustainability. The findings indicate that while technological advancements have increased crop production and income, they have also led to greater inequality and environmental degradation, calling for a balanced consideration of economic and ecological factors in agricultural policy.
