Norman Borlaug is credited with helping save more than one billion people from dying of hunger since the 1960s,
For his contributions to the world food supply, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.
Borlaug is the ultimate hunger fighter. What makes him so cool? Borlaug revolutionized the science of food production. An Iowa native, Borlaug grew up working on a farm and, while in high school, was a competitive wrestler. He later became really interested in plants and science, and was most interested in improving crops, like wheat, so that they could grow in places where there was little water, poor soil and even plant diseases. That's a tall order, right? Well it might have seemed insurmountable, but Borlaug felt that if he could create better wheat varieties, people around the world could feed themselves and their loved ones, and would never again go hungry.
While there is more work to be done, his idea actually worked - more than one billion times over. Borlaug is credited with helping save more than one billion people from dying of hunger since the 1960s, and launched a movement called the Green Revolution. He went on to win the highest achievement in the world - the Nobel Peace Prize. He was recognized and awarded many honors from Presidents, universities and organizations worldwide.
Borlaug passed away on September 12, 2009 at the age of 95 in Dallas, Texas. He always felt that we needed new leaders in fighting hunger and that everyone had a role in ending it. , so let's together do him proud!

The International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) and Biology Fortified have produced a special video tribute to the late Dr. Norman Borlaug, a legendary CIMMYT scientist who developed high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat that started the Green Revolution which is credited with saving over 1 billion people from starvation. The release of this tribute coincides with The Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security, on what would have been the 100th birthday of Dr. Borlaug. His message of increasing food production and the importance of using science in this effort are still important today - perhaps more than ever as the world has over 7 billion people, and still growing.
To follow this event, go to http://www.borlaug100.org, and follow the #borlaug100 hashtag in social media. For more information about the video and upcoming projects, visit http://www.biofortified.org. For more information about CIMMYT, visit http://www.cimmyt.org.
More information about The Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security:
The Summit will look back at Borlaug's legacy as the father of the Green Revolution, which sparked key advances in food production. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to world peace through an increased food supply. Borlaug's wheat varieties were grown in Mexico, Turkey, India and Pakistan, boosting harvests in those countries, avoiding famine in South Asia and sparking widespread adoption of improved crop varieties and farming practices.
In celebration of Dr. Borlaug's centennial, throughout the year Biology Fortified will produce content -- interviews, articles, blog posts, and other interactive features -- about wheat and its importance around the world. Biology Fortified will aim to educate about the history and biology of the crop, and spark discussions of critical issues in its future. They will also include videos about how wheat is used in cuisines throughout the world, with recipes that people can try at home.
The video was synthesized by John Boswell of Melodysheep, who produced the popular Symphony of Science video series. For more information, go to his youtube channel.

A documentary film about Norman Borlaug, the Iowa farm boy who saved over a billion people from starvation.
Americans have little knowledge of one of their greatest sons. Why do schoolchildren in China, India, Mexico, and Pakistan know the name and work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug while so few of his countrymen have never heard of him? How did a dirt-poor farm boy from rural Iowa grow up to save a billion people worldwide from starvation and malnutrition and become the father of the Green Revolution? What were the inherited traits and environmental factors that shaped his astonishing journey and led to successes that surprised even him? What can we learn from his life and views that might help the human race survive the next critical century?

Great man or greatest man? RIP Dr. Norman Borlaug, the man who fed a billion people (Mar 25, 1914-Sep 12, 2009). He saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived.
In this interview, Penn Jillette talks with the wonderful man who spent his all-too-short life making contributions to agricultural technology, and whose efforts are estimated to be feeding a billion people today. Subjects discussed include Dr. Borlaug's contributions to raising crop yields several fold, disease resistance, Leon Hesser's book "The Man Who Fed the World", the Nobel and World Food Prizes, a good discussion about Borlaug's opinions on GM opponents (part 4), and the need for universal education.
Dr. Borlaug died September 12, 2009, aged 95.
We'll forever be in your debt.

Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 – September 12, 2009) was an American agronomist, humanitarian, and Nobel laureate who has been called "the father of the Green Revolution". Borlaug was one of six people to have won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. He was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian honor.
Borlaug received his Ph.D. in plant pathology and genetics from the University of Minnesota in 1942. He took up an agricultural research position in Mexico, where he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, disease-resistant wheat varieties.
During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of these high-yielding varieties combined with modern agricultural production techniques to Mexico, Pakistan, and India. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations. These collective increases in yield have been labeled the Green Revolution, and Borlaug is often credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to world peace through increasing food supply.

"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.

This song was written and produced in 2004 in honor of the 90th birthday of Nobel Peace Prize Winner Norman Borlaug, a man who is credited with saving over a billion lives. Lead singer: Rohan Prakash; Lyrics: M.C. Tractor; Music Producer: DJ Redd; Chorus: Luckie Egnin, Destiny Caldwell; Background Music: DJ Cadett. For more information on Dr. Borlaug, visit http://agbioworld.org/biotech-info/topics/borlaug/index.html. THE NORMAN BORLAUG RAP I don't know what you been told about farming and food in days of old, but listen and take this to the bank: If there's food in your tummy then you'd better thank N-O-R-M-A-N Norman Borlaug, thank you, man Straight out of Iowa Norman came, then traveled the world, saw suffering and pain. Millions of people were starving, yo in Pakistan, India, Mexico. But just a few years after Norman came, they all had bumper crops of grain. Norman found the great solution, known as the Green Revolution. Billions of people are alive today because of work done by the man named Norman. CHORUS But then some people started to panic, telling the farmers to go organic. Technophobes started making a mess of Norman Borlaug's great success. Green groups thought they found the cure in stinky piles of cow manure, telling their governments not to send fertilizer aid to our African friends. So Norman came back to defend high-yield agriculture with his friend, Jimmy Carter, ex-president, to help all the African residents. CHORUS Norman and Jimmy hopped in a plane to help the Africans grow more grain. Soon the men were able to triple corn yields that the Greens had crippled. Feeding the planet is his game and yet he does not have much fame. Got the highest scientific acclaim, and now you better know his name is Norman. And he's still working in the fields, helping the farmers increase their yields. With fertilizer, water and better plant breeding he's making sure that farmers are feeding children and their families with corn and rice, cassava and peas. The man has saved so many lives. That's why they gave the Nobel Prize to Norman. If you don't know, You better ask somebody About Norman, Norman Borlaug Father of the Green Revolution Nobel Peace Prize Winner Forgotten Benefactor of Humanity ... -

The Man Who Saved A Billion From Starving
Norman Borlaug is credited with helping save more than one billion people from dying of hunger since the 1960s, For his contributions to the world food supply, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Borlaug is the ultimate hunger fighter. What makes him so cool? Borlaug revolutionized the science of food production. An Iowa native, Borlaug grew up working on a farm and, while in high school, was a competitive wrestler. He later became really interested in plants and science, and was most interested in improving crops, like wheat, so that they could grow in places where there was little water, poor soil and even plant diseases. That's a tall order, right? Well it might have seemed insurmountable, but Borlaug felt that if he could create better wheat varieties, people around the... -
Norman Borlaug: A Lifetime Fighting Hunger
Dr. Norman E. Borlaug is credited with saving more lives than any other person who has ever lived. Through his scientific breakthroughs, he developed a strain of wheat that saved upwards of one billion people from famine and starvation. His techniques have been adapted around the globe, and he was honored with the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for his achievements. In 1986, Dr. Borlaug founded the World Food Prize to inspire and recognize the similar achievements that are needed to feed our ever-expanding world.

Play it Hard - Norman Borlaug 100 Year Tribute
The International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) and Biology Fortified have produced a special video tribute to the late Dr. Norman Borlaug, a legendary CIMMYT scientist who developed high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat that started the Green Revolution which is credited with saving over 1 billion people from starvation. The release of this tribute coincides with The Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security, on what would have been the 100th birthday of Dr. Borlaug. His message of increasing food production and the importance of using science in this effort are still important today - perhaps more than ever as the world has over 7 billion people, and still growing. To follow this event, go to http://www.borlaug100.org, and follow the #borlaug100 hashtag in social media. For ... -
Freedom From Famine ~ The Norman Borlaug Story
A documentary film about Norman Borlaug, the Iowa farm boy who saved over a billion people from starvation. Americans have little knowledge of one of their greatest sons. Why do schoolchildren in China, India, Mexico, and Pakistan know the name and work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug while so few of his countrymen have never heard of him? How did a dirt-poor farm boy from rural Iowa grow up to save a billion people worldwide from starvation and malnutrition and become the father of the Green Revolution? What were the inherited traits and environmental factors that shaped his astonishing journey and led to successes that surprised even him? What can we learn from his life and views that might help the human race survive the next critical century? -

Penn Jillette Interview with Dr Norman Borlaug [1/5]
Great man or greatest man? RIP Dr. Norman Borlaug, the man who fed a billion people (Mar 25, 1914-Sep 12, 2009). He saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived. In this interview, Penn Jillette talks with the wonderful man who spent his all-too-short life making contributions to agricultural technology, and whose efforts are estimated to be feeding a billion people today. Subjects discussed include Dr. Borlaug's contributions to raising crop yields several fold, disease resistance, Leon Hesser's book "The Man Who Fed the World", the Nobel and World Food Prizes, a good discussion about Borlaug's opinions on GM opponents (part 4), and the need for universal education.

Dr. Norman E. Borlaug
CIMMYT fights hunger and poverty in the developing world through smarter agriculture. We are the world's number one caretaker and developer of maize and wheat, two of humanity's most vital crops. Maize and wheat are grown on 200 million hectares in developing countries. 84 million of those hectares are planted with varieties of CIMMYT seed. We also maintain the world's largest maize and wheat seed bank at our headquarters in Mexico. We are probably best known for prompting the Green Revolution, which saved millions of lives across Asia and led to CIMMYT's Norman Borlaug receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Because of population growth, natural resource degradation, and climate change the current challenge is to feed more people, with less resources, and in a more environmentally responsible wa... -
Norman Borlaug inspires wheat research trainees at Cd. Obregon, Mexico, 4 April 1993
Norman Borlaug, the father of the "Green Revolution" who is widely credited with saving millions of lives by breeding wheat and other crops that brought agricultural self-sufficiency to developing countries around the world, died on 12 September 2009 in Texas. He was 95--see IRRI's tribute Dr. Borlaug in Rice Today magazine at http://fr.scribd.com/doc/94616046/RT-Vol-8-No-4-Tribute-to-Norman-Borlaug Borlaug, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, was hailed by Time magazine in 1999 as one of the 100 most influential minds of the 20th century. Using the new strains, Mexico, which had imported 60% of its wheat in the early 1940s, became self-sufficient by 1956. Using Borlaug's techniques, scientists soon developed similar high-yield strains of rice and corn. In this video clip, he inspire... -

Remembering Norman Borlaug
This the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com Norman Borlaug led what was known as the Green Revolution. As a plant scientist, he may have saved more lives than anyone else in history -- as many as a billion, by some estimates. He traveled the world to help poor people develop better ways to produce food. He worked in the fields to show farmers new ways to grow wheat, rice and other crops. And he worked in the laboratory to breed new wheat varieties that could resist disease. Lately he worried about a new threat, a fungus called Ug99. It was discovered in Uganda ten years ago and has spread in Africa and now Asia. Mister Borlaug said this new strain of stem rust organism has the power to destroy most of the wheat varieties being grown around th... -

Borlaug is the ultimate hunger fighter. What makes him so cool? Borlaug revolutionized the science of food production. An Iowa native, Borlaug grew up working on a farm and, while in high school, was a competitive wrestler. He later became really interested in plants and science, and was most interested in improving crops, like wheat, so that they could grow in places where there was little water, poor soil and even plant diseases. That's a tall order, right? Well it might have seemed insurmountable, but Borlaug felt that if he could create better wheat varieties, people around the world could feed themselves and their loved ones, and would never again go hungry.
While there is more work to be done, his idea actually worked - more than one billion times over. Borlaug is credited with helping save more than one billion people from dying of hunger since the 1960s, and launched a movement called the Green Revolution. He went on to win the highest achievement in the world - the Nobel Peace Prize. He was recognized and awarded many honors from Presidents, universities and organizations worldwide.
Borlaug passed away on September 12, 2009 at the age of 95 in Dallas, Texas. He always felt that we needed new leaders in fighting hunger and that everyone had a role in ending it. , so let's together do him proud!

The International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) and Biology Fortified have produced a special video tribute to the late Dr. Norman Borlaug, a legendary CIMMYT scientist who developed high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat that started the Green Revolution which is credited with saving over 1 billion people from starvation. The release of this tribute coincides with The Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security, on what would have been the 100th birthday of Dr. Borlaug. His message of increasing food production and the importance of using science in this effort are still important today - perhaps more than ever as the world has over 7 billion people, and still growing.
To follow this event, go to http://www.borlaug100.org, and follow the #borlaug100 hashtag in social media. For more information about the video and upcoming projects, visit http://www.biofortified.org. For more information about CIMMYT, visit http://www.cimmyt.org.
More information about The Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security:
The Summit will look back at Borlaug's legacy as the father of the Green Revolution, which sparked key advances in food production. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to world peace through an increased food supply. Borlaug's wheat varieties were grown in Mexico, Turkey, India and Pakistan, boosting harvests in those countries, avoiding famine in South Asia and sparking widespread adoption of improved crop varieties and farming practices.
In celebration of Dr. Borlaug's centennial, throughout the year Biology Fortified will produce content -- interviews, articles, blog posts, and other interactive features -- about wheat and its importance around the world. Biology Fortified will aim to educate about the history and biology of the crop, and spark discussions of critical issues in its future. They will also include videos about how wheat is used in cuisines throughout the world, with recipes that people can try at home.
The video was synthesized by John Boswell of Melodysheep, who produced the popular Symphony of Science video series. For more information, go to his youtube channel.

A documentary film about Norman Borlaug, the Iowa farm boy who saved over a billion people from starvation.
Americans have little knowledge of one of their greatest sons. Why do schoolchildren in China, India, Mexico, and Pakistan know the name and work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug while so few of his countrymen have never heard of him? How did a dirt-poor farm boy from rural Iowa grow up to save a billion people worldwide from starvation and malnutrition and become the father of the Green Revolution? What were the inherited traits and environmental factors that shaped his astonishing journey and led to successes that surprised even him? What can we learn from his life and views that might help the human race survive the next critical century?

Great man or greatest man? RIP Dr. Norman Borlaug, the man who fed a billion people (Mar 25, 1914-Sep 12, 2009). He saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived.
In this interview, Penn Jillette talks with the wonderful man who spent his all-too-short life making contributions to agricultural technology, and whose efforts are estimated to be feeding a billion people today. Subjects discussed include Dr. Borlaug's contributions to raising crop yields several fold, disease resistance, Leon Hesser's book "The Man Who Fed the World", the Nobel and World Food Prizes, a good discussion about Borlaug's opinions on GM opponents (part 4), and the need for universal education.
Dr. Borlaug died September 12, 2009, aged 95.
We'll forever be in your debt.

THE NORMAN BORLAUG RAP
I don't know what you been told
about farming and food in days of old,
but listen and take this to the bank:
If there's food in your tummy then you'd better thank
N-O-R-M-A-N
Norman Borlaug, thank you, man
Straight out of Iowa Norman came,
then traveled the world, saw suffering and pain.
Millions of people were starving, yo
in Pakistan, India, Mexico.
But just a few years after Norman came,
they all had bumper crops of grain.
Norman found the great solution,
known as the Green Revolution.
Billions of people are alive today
because of work done by the man named Norman.
CHORUS
But then some people started to panic,
telling the farmers to go organic.
Technophobes started making a mess
of Norman Borlaug's great success.
Green groups thought they found the cure
in stinky piles of cow manure,
telling their governments not to send
fertilizer aid to our African friends.
So Norman came back to defend
high-yield agriculture with his friend,
Jimmy Carter, ex-president,
to help all the African residents.
CHORUS
Norman and Jimmy hopped in a plane
to help the Africans grow more grain.
Soon the men were able to triple
corn yields that the Greens had crippled.
Feeding the planet is his game
and yet he does not have much fame.
Got the highest scientific acclaim,
and now you better know his name is Norman.
And he's still working in the fields,
helping the farmers increase their yields.
With fertilizer, water and better plant breeding
he's making sure that farmers are feeding
children and their families
with corn and rice, cassava and peas.
The man has saved so many lives.
That's why they gave the Nobel Prize to Norman.
If you don't know, You better ask somebody
About Norman, Norman Borlaug

The third week of April 2005, Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug and his associate Christopher Dowswell visited NC State. During his visit Dr. Borlaug held several seminars with students and faculty from the colleges of Natural Resources and Agriculture and Life Sciences; met with a high school environmental science class at Broughton High School and delivered a public lecture entitled Bridging the Divide between Environment, Agriculture and Forestry. Mr. Dowswell delivered a lecture entitled Meeting the Millennium Development Goal of Cutting Hunger by Half by 2015.
Dr. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for a lifetime of work aimed at feeding the hungry, a prerequisite for peace. He is credited with saving more lives than any person who has ever lived. Dr. Borlaug's greatest achievement was the development of wheat varieties with resistance to disease, adaptation to environment, and exceedingly high yields. These findings transformed agricultural production in Mexico, and later in Asia, Australia and the Americas, sparking what today is known as "The Green Revolution. He is the President of the Sasakawa Africa Association.
Mr. Dowswell is the Special Assistant to the President & Director of Communications of the Sasakawa Africa Association and an active member of the United Nations Millennium Development Project Hunger Task Force.

CIMMYT fights hunger and poverty in the developing world through smarter agriculture. We are the world's number one caretaker and developer of maize and wheat, two of humanity's most vital crops. Maize and wheat are grown on 200 million hectares in developing countries. 84 million of those hectares are planted with varieties of CIMMYT seed. We also maintain the world's largest maize and wheat seed bank at our headquarters in Mexico. We are probably best known for prompting the Green Revolution, which saved millions of lives across Asia and led to CIMMYT's Norman Borlaug receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Because of population growth, natural resource degradation, and climate change the current challenge is to feed more people, with less resources, and in a more environmentally responsible way than ever before.

CIMMYT fights hunger and poverty in the developing world through smarter agriculture. We are the world's number one caretaker and developer of maize and wheat, two of humanity's most vital crops. Maize and wheat are grown on 200 million hectares in developing countries. 84 million of those hectares are planted with varieties of CIMMYT seed. We also maintain the world's largest maize and wheat seed bank at our headquarters in Mexico. We are probably best known for prompting the Green Revolution, which saved millions of lives across Asia and led to CIMMYT's Norman Borlaug receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Because of population growth, natural resource degradation, and climate change the current challenge is to feed more people, with less resources, and in a more environmentally responsible way than ever before. It can be done. To learn more about what CIMMYT is doing to combat hunger and poverty visit www.cimmyt.org.

Norman Borlaug, the father of the "Green Revolution" who is widely credited with saving millions of lives by breeding wheat and other crops that brought agricultural self-sufficiency to developing countries around the world, died on 12 September 2009 in Texas. He was 95--see IRRI's tribute Dr. Borlaug in Rice Today magazine at http://fr.scribd.com/doc/94616046/RT-Vol-8-No-4-Tribute-to-Norman-Borlaug
Borlaug, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, was hailed by Time magazine in 1999 as one of the 100 most influential minds of the 20th century. Using the new strains, Mexico, which had imported 60% of its wheat in the early 1940s, became self-sufficient by 1956. Using Borlaug's techniques, scientists soon developed similar high-yield strains of rice and corn.
In this video clip, he inspires wheat research trainees--in both English and Spanish--at the experiment station of CIANO (Centro de Investigaciones Agricolas del Noroeste), near Ciudad Obregon, Mexico, on 4 April 1993. Not specifically discussing wheat here, he talks about the complicated world we live in, the thinking of the philosopher-historian Will Durant (biography at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Durant), and developing ones talents to the fullest.

This the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com
Norman Borlaug led what was known as the Green Revolution. As a plant scientist, he may have saved more lives than anyone else in history -- as many as a billion, by some estimates. He traveled the world to help poor people develop better ways to produce food.
He worked in the fields to show farmers new ways to grow wheat, rice and other crops. And he worked in the laboratory to breed new wheat varieties that could resist disease. Lately he worried about a new threat, a fungus called Ug99. It was discovered in Uganda ten years ago and has spread in Africa and now Asia.
Mister Borlaug said this new strain of stem rust organism has the power to destroy most of the wheat varieties being grown around the world.
Norman Borlaug taught at Texas A&M; University and worked on international projects until not long before his death on September twelfth. He was ninety-five and suffering from cancer.
In nineteen forty-four he began work on a project in Mexico financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. By the middle of the nineteen fifties, Mexico had doubled its wheat production per hectare.
Norman Borlaug and his team had even greater success in Pakistan and India. Farmers could grow four times more wheat than before. Later in life he tried to bring the Green Revolution to Africa.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize in nineteen seventy and the Presidential Medal of Freedom seven years later. But not everyone considered him a hero.
Environmental activists criticized his intensive methods, including the use of fertilizers and pesticides. He suggested that Western critics had never known real hunger, and wondered if they had ever watched their children go hungry. But later, he also urged farmers not to overuse chemicals.
At his ninety-fifth birthday party in March, Norman Borlaug told VOA that he was worried about the world's ability to feed itself. He said: "We are adding eighty-four million more people to the world population every year. There's a big job on our hands."
World hunger has been rising slowly since the late nineteen nineties. A big increase is expected this year because of the economic crisis, combined with higher food prices.
The World Food Program said that the number of hungry people will pass one billion this year for the first time in history. But the flow of food aid is at a twenty-year low.
And that's the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.

A field interview: Norman Borlaug, Patronato, and farmers working for farmers
Episode 3 of the series "A field interview" follows the farmer cooperative PIEAES, better known as Patronato, located in the State of Sonora, Mexico. Patronato descends directly from a group of farmers who, having personally experienced the benefits of agricultural research, began supporting Dr. Norman Borlaug's pioneering wheat improvement efforts in the 1940's. Today Patronato is a farmer-run and -funded organiztion that acts as a permanent link between agriculture research and farmers in the field. Learn more by visiting: Patronato's website: http://www.pieaes.org.mx/ INIFAP's website: www.inifap.gob.mx/ CIMMYT's website: www.cimmyt.org/ CREDITS: Filmed, edited and produced by Mary Attaway -

Great man or greatest man? RIP Dr. Norman Borlaug, the man who fed a billion people (Mar 25, 1914-Sep 12, 2009). He saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived.
In this interview, Penn Jillette talks with the wonderful man who spent his all-too-short life making contributions to agricultural technology, and whose efforts are estimated to be feeding a billion people today. Subjects discussed include Dr. Borlaug's contributions to raising crop yields several fold, disease resistance, Leon Hesser's book "The Man Who Fed the World", the Nobel and World Food Prizes, a good discussion about Borlaug's opinions on GM opponents (part 4), and the need for universal education.
Dr. Borlaug died September 12, 2009, aged 95.
We'll forever be in your debt.
