La declaración en el español A declaração em Portugese Déclaration en français Billions Served Three decades after he launched the Green Revolution, agronomist Norman Borlaug is still fighting world hunger and the doomsayers who say it's a lost cause. Reason Magazine By Ronald Bailey April 2000 Who? Norman Borlaug, the father of the "Green Revolution," the dramatic improvement in agricultural productivity that swept the globe in the 1960s. Borlaug grew up on a small farm in Iowa and graduated from the University of Minnesota, where he studied forestry and plant pathology, in the 1930s. In 1944, the Rockefeller Foundation invited him to work on a project to boost wheat production in Mexico. At the time Mexico was importing a good share of its grain. Borlaug and his staff in Mexico spent nearly 20 years breeding the high-yield dwarf wheat that sparked the Green Revolution, the transformation that forestalled the mass starvation predicted by neo-Malthusians. In the late 1960s, most experts were speaking of imminent global famines in which billions would perish. "The battle to feed all of humanity is over," biologist Paul Ehrlich famously wrote in his 1968 bestseller The Population Bomb. "In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now." Ehrlich also said, "I have yet to meet anyone familiar with the situation who thinks India will be self-sufficient in food by 1971." He insisted that "India couldn't possibly feed two hundred million more people by 1980."

Only one of three living Americans to win the Nobel Peace Prize (Elie Wiesel and the dubious Henry Kissinger being the others), ironically it is Borlaug's success in his field which has led to his toiling away in obscurity, often unable to get serious funding. Borlaug was the pioneer who in large measure created the Green Revolution. Back when Paul Ehrlich predicted there was no way developing nations could increase their crop yields, Borlaug was in the fields showing them how to do just that. In a profile of Borlaug for the Atlantic Monthly , Gregg Easterbrook doesn't have to rely on too much hyperbole to claim, "the form of agriculture that Borlaug preaches may have prevented a billion deaths!" nbsp; In 1963, the Mexican government and the Rockefeller Foundation set up the International Maize and Wheat Center (CIMMYT) and sent Borlaug to India where he and others planted the first crop of dwarf wheat, a specially bred hybrid, which increased crop yields 70 percent and helped avert a wartime starvation (India and Pakistan were then at war).

Home Up Individualist Environmentalists iGreens Without technology, millions starve Advances in agricultural technology, from chemical fertilizers to genetically modified crops, are the keys to feeding more than 6 billion people worldwide while preserving vast expanses of uncultivated land for other purposes, a renowned geneticist says. Nobel Laureate Norman Borlaug said such limitations as availability of water and natural plant nutrients makes biotechnology and improved crop production methods that much more important in stabilizing agricultural land and battling starvation. Borlaug offered his views on agriculture, global crop production and risk taking during a lecture at Ohio State University in October 2001. Borlaug is an agricultural geneticist. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his contributions to the "Green Revolution," a food production movement of the 1960s that helped lift many countries out of starvation through the introduction of high-yielding wheat varieties. He's lived in food-deprived countries for more than 55 years. Feeding the world has been possible because of agricultural technology, Borlaug said. Increased use of irrigation has made it possible to grow crops in areas that might not have been able to sustain them. Borlaug applauded the use of organic fertilizers but said they cannot replace chemical fertilizers.

3 September 2002 PR/E35/02 DR. NORMAN E. BORLAUG, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER, TO SPEAK AT UNU ON 1 OCTOBER Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, 1970 Nobel Peace Prize winner, will give the 4th U Thant Distinguished Lecture on Tuesday, 1 October 2002. Dr. Borlaug will discuss his views on "Agriculture and Peace - the Role of Science and Technology in Feeding Humankind in the 21st Century." The lecture will take place from 10:30 a.m. - noon in the U Thant International Conference Hall of the UN House in Tokyo. The U Thant Distinguished Lecture series, co-organized by the United Nations University (UNU) Centre and the UNU Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU/IAS), is a forum through which leading thinkers speak on the role of the United Nations in addressing the challenges facing the world in the twenty-first century. Previous speakers in this lecture series have been Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia; Mr. Thabo Mbeki, President of the Republic of South Africa; and the Honorable William J. Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America. Dr. Borlaug is known for his innovative work to overcome constraints on wheat production. During his sixteen years in Mexico he developed disease resistant, high-yielding wheat varieties that grow under a variety of climatic conditions. These crop types, along with improved management practices, transformed agricultural production and sparked the "Green Revolution" of the 1960s. The increase in food production assuaged starvation for hundreds of millions of people and, as a result, Dr. Borlaug is credited with saving more lives than any other person in history.

90. WELCOME TO OUR CYBERSPACE DISCUSSION WITH NORMAN BORLAUG AND SARA SCHERR, JANUAR WELCOME TO OUR CYBERSPACE DISCUSSION ON. AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.WITH norman borlaug AND SARA SCHERR, JANUARY 5 – 9, 2004 . INTRODUCTION. http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/BeahrsELP/Introduction.htm

WELCOME TO OUR CYBERSPACE DISCUSSION ON AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT WITH NORMAN BORLAUG AND SARA SCHERR, JANUARY 5 – 9, 2004 INTRODUCTION This discussion originated with the memorable visit of Dr. Norman Borlaug to the Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program’s summer course at U.C. Berkeley in July 2003. His two-day visit, lectures and informal exchanges generated great enthusiasm and many questions among ELP participants from around the world. You may hear these lectures and more about the visit by going to this website’s CD-ROM – summer course, panels/sessions (http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/csrd/cdrom/dswmedia/csrd_start_page.html). Since there was insufficient time to delve into ELP participants’ questions this past July, we decided to organize a “cyberspace” discussion for January 2004. Questions were submitted by ELP alumni over the past few months, condensed into the four questions posted here They cover agronomic, technological, environmental, economic, political and social justice/equity aspects of the future of global and regional agricultural development and food security. In addition to involving Dr. Borlaug in responding to these questions and participating in the discussion, we asked ecoagriculture expert, Dr. Sara Scherr, to also provide written responses and participate in the discussion.

C YBERSPACE DISCUSSION, JANUARY 5 - 9, 2004 Responses to Discussion Questions f rom Dr. Norman Borlaug and Dr. Chris Dowswell The “Green Revolution” is often blamed for being one of the principal causes of environmental destruction, principally (but not exclusively) for its intensive use of chemical fertilizers and other industrial inputs. Are there ways to maintain or increase agricultural yields and food production saving land for nature, without the intense use of chemical inputs that have negative consequences for water and land quality and biodiversity? Had the cereal production technology of 1950, when relatively little fertilizer and crop protection chemicals were used in world agriculture, persisted to this day, we would need an additional 1.1 billion hectares of land (of the same quality as the 670 million ha currently in use) to produce the roughly 2 billion tons of cereals, which constitute, (on an edible dry matter basis) two thirds of the world food supply. Through a continuing stream of productivity-enhancing technologies, we have been able to triple world cereal production with only a 10% increase in total land area. What would have happened to fragile lands and biodiversity if these yields had not been achieved? The erosion and destruction of habitats would have been so large as to be unthinkable. Dr. Vaclav
