In 1944 he was asked by the Rockefeller Foundation to work in Mexico on a project to improve productivity of wheat. He and his staff worked for twenty years to develop a dwarf variety of wheat that put less of its energy into growing tall and more of its energy into growing fat kernels, while resisting several different plant pests. In 1965 he moved his attention to India and Pakistan, where he began a massive education campaign to get the new varieties to farmers, while continuing to further improve them. The results were dramatic indeed. Since 1970, the total yields of wheat in these two countries have increased by nearly ten times. This is why, despite the doubling of their populations, the populations of India and Pakistan are better fed today than at any time since 1965. The International Rice Research Institute modelled its methods on Borlaug's work with wheat, and later with corn, and has had similar outstanding success.

AgBioWorld - Agricultural Biotechnology Can Help Prevent Malnutrition In The Dev Birmingham News By Gregory Pence and Joyce Hsu July 23, 2000. norman borlaug doesnot look like a hero, as least, not the way Hollywood movies portray one. http://www.agbioworld.org/biotech_info/topics/borlaug/hero.html

A Hero for Our Time Birmingham News By Gregory Pence and Joyce Hsu July 23, 2000 Norman Borlaug does not look like a hero, as least, not the way Hollywood movies portray one. A typical, elderly, white male with rounded face, glasses, and thinning hair, he looks like some guy who could be walking around a retirement community. And yet, in a world that some say lacks real moral heroes, Norman Borlaug has led a life that puts him up there with Albert Schweitzer and Mother Teresa. So what has he done to merit such praise? Led a military raid on Entebbe? Discovered a new kind of drug for arthritis? Adopted a dozen disabled children? The answer: as a result of his life's work, a billion people now exist who otherwise would have starved to death, died of starvation-related diseases, or never have been born. Thirty years ago, as a young college graduate, Borlaug first directed the Rockefeller Foundation's Mexican wheat program, formed initially to teach Mexican farmers new agricultural ideas. In the small beginnings of the Green Revolution, Borlaug developed dwarf wheat and techniques of so-called shuttle breeding. Serendipitously, an area a few hundred miles north in the Saner region promised more than his first location for feeding a whole country, so he expanded his program to Sonora, shuttling seedlings twice a year between the two regions. This shuttling enabled Borlaug to develop a variety of wheat that grew well in a range of climates, altitudes, and seasons.

Exploring the Life and Science of Norman Borlaug – Nobel Peace Prize Recipient and Native Iowan Borlaug Farm from the Southeast Borlaug Farm from the Northeast Who is Norman Borlaug? Winner of the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize, he is credited with saving more lives than anyone in history—one billion lives—and has been called one of the 20 th century’s ten greatest contributors to humankind. Yet at 89, Dr. Borlaug isn’t one to spend much time philosophizing. He is still working tirelessly to feed hungry people around the globe. Perhaps this is why he remains largely unrecognized in our nation of plenty. For over half a century, Dr. Norman Borlaug has fought to keep poverty and hunger at bay. Known as “The Father of the Green Revolution,” Borlaug is best known for his hybrid wheat and modern agricultural techniques, but his success is largely related to his work as an educator and policy maker. Dr. Borlaug grew up on a farm near Cresco, Iowa, never forgetting the lessons of the farm, or the strong influence his grandfather had on his education. Throughout his career, Dr. Borlaug repeatedly emphasized the importance of staying connected to the land.

Visit the Norman Borlaug Heritage Foundation Website: www.normanborlaug.org CLICK HERE to read Dr. Borluaug's inaugural lecture at Iowa State University Norman E. Borlaug Founder, The World Food Prize 1970 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate In 1970 Norman E. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for a lifetime of work to feed a hungry world. Although a scientist with outstanding contributions, perhaps Dr. Borlaug's greatest achievement has been his unending struggle to integrate the various streams of agricultural research into viable technologies and to convince political leaders to bring these advances to fruition. Born of Norwegian descent, Dr. Borlaug was raised in Cresco, a small farming community in northeast Iowa. He learned his work ethic on a small mixed crop and livestock family farm and obtained initial education in a one-room rural school house. His skills as an athlete (mainly in wrestling) opened the door for him to attend the University of Minnesota, where he studied to be a forester, wrestled, and worked various odd jobs. After graduating in 1937 with a BS in Forestry, he went to work for the United States Forest Service, initially in Idaho and later in Massachusetts and Connecticut. He returned to graduate school at the University of Minnesota, and took up the study of plant pathology, receiving his Ph.D. in 1942. Dr. Borlaug then worked as a Microbiologist for E.I. Dupont de Nemours, until being released from his wartime service.

Rachael Collier, Student Participant Mediapolis High School Peace on Earth "You can’t build peace on empty stomachs" Lord John Boyd Orr Peace on Earth "Peace on Earth." These are words we have wished for with new resolve since the enormous loss of life on September 11th, 2001 following the terrorist attack. Our feelings of security and safety changed. Our awareness of the world broadened. Out focus on Afghanistan intensified as it is a harbor to terrorists. The food aid of Afghanistan was needed despite significant hunger. Yet universal and lasting peace can be established only if it based upon social justice. If you desire peace, cultivate justice, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food. As Nobel Laureate Lord John Boyd Orr stated twenty-two years ago, "You can’t build peace on empty stomachs." Food security is a situation when all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Food insecurity exists when people lack access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food and are therefor not consuming the food required for normal growth and development, and for an active and health life. Societal Barriers in Food Security According to the United States Censor Bureau, when calculating the birth and death rate, the world population is increased by approximately 146 people every minute. By 2050, the population will be over 9 billion people. As Norman Borlaug stated, "There is no lasting solution to the world food, poverty, and hunger problem until a more reasonable balance is struck between food production, food distribution, and human population growth."

And yet, very few Americans would be able to say who Norman Borlaug is, leave alone list any of his groundbreaking accomplishments in solving the problems of world hunger. Borlaug, now in his late eighties, is a plant breeder who was born in Iowa, in 1914. The vast majority of his professional life has been spent living and working in the developing countries of the worldMexico, Pakistan, India, China, and most recently, regions of Africa. Borlaug's childhood home in Cresco, Iowa As Borlaug was growing up on a small farm in Cresco, Iowa, first the Depression Era, and then the Dust Bowl of the Midwest, were formative experiences.

TRAVEL FEATURED SERVICES RELATIONSHIPS NEW! INSURANCE SHOPPING ... See Most Sent Global Green Thumb Norman Borlaug on a Quest for Hunger-Free World By Peter Jennings April 2 He is a scientist who has spent his long life teaching poorer nations how to grow food successfully. "Countless millions of men, women and children who will never know his name will never go to bed hungry," said Secretary of State Colin Powell at Borlaug's 90th birthday celebration, held at the State Department on Monday. "When I see the misery and the hunger and poverty in the Third World, I'm angry. This is why I stay at it," Borlaug told ABCNEWS. This week, he attended an international conference on food and farming in Uganda, where he told delegates of the challenge of producing enough food for the rapidly growing population. Humble Beginnings Borlaug was born and raised in Cresco, Iowa. He was educated in a one-room school house, but he got a lifetime's education on the American prairie during the devastating droughts of the 1930s. "Most Americans aren't here today that lived [though] that process, and I think that's one of the things that helped push me towards international agricultural development," he said.

Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Nobel Prize-winning Agricultural Researcher Presented in 1984 to: Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Dr. Norman Ernest Borlaug joined the Rockefeller Foundation staff in Mexico in 1944 to increase the production and productivity of Mexican wheats. This Iowa native continued as Director of the National Wheat Program in Mexico until the research center, Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de maiz y Trigo (CIMMYT), was formed in 1965. He continued as Director of Wheat Programs in CIMMYT until he retired in 1979. Dr. Borlaug devoted his energies to improvement of wheat for more than 30 years. He contributed more than any other person to the so-called "Green Revolution." This revolution made it possible to improve living conditions for hundreds of millions of people living in the developing countries. This eminent researcher is a man of ideals, and man of action. His writings reflect not only a fight against rust and weeds, but a strong outcry against bureaucracy and paperwork which interfere with rapid action. By his own admission, he is an impatient man and he does not readily accept the slow changes in the developing world. Yields of crops must increase rapidly, and he realizes that there is no time to waste, considering the magnitude of the problem of feeding the world's population. He has been honored by numerous institutions in the United States, Pakistan, India, Norway, Canada and many other countries. He serves on many boards and advises governments in the developing world on food production.

The guest of honor couldn't be there, so about 100 faculty members, researchers, and students celebrated by his statue in front of Borlaug Hall on the Twin Cities campus in St. Paul. This week, the Minnesota Legislature also named October 16 "Dr. Norman E. Borlaug World Food Prize Day." Borlaug, a former University professor, student, and wrestler, started in General College, and eventually earned three degrees from the Ua bachelor's in forestry in 1937 and a master's and doctorate in plant pathology in 1939 and 1942, respectively. He earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for developing the high-yielding wheat that reversed food shortages in India and Pakistan during the 1960s. Borlaug is only one of four living Nobel Peace Prize winners in America. The other three are former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, and former secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
