Borlaug Hypothesis The article says: His efforts in the 1960s to introduce genetically-modified seeds... Is "genetically-modifed" the correct word to use here? I don't think that the term as commonly understood applies to the techniques that Borlaug used. No it is incorrect. My grandfather worked in seed corn hybridization at Iowa State. Hybrid corn is not GM, which refers to actual genetic manipulation by laboratory techniques, not cross-breeding.

42. Borlaug, Norman E. A central figure in the green revolution , norman Ernest borlaug (March 25,1914 ) was born on a farm near Cresco, Iowa, to Henry and Clara borlaug. http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/B/Borlaug/Borlau

Borlaug, Norman E. After completing his primary and secondary education in Cresco, Borlaug enrolled in the University of Minnesota where he studied forestry. Immediately before and immediately after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in 1937, he worked for the U.S. Forestry Service at stations in Massachusetts and Idaho. Returning to the University of Minnesota to study plant pathology, he received the master's degree in 1939 and the doctorate in 1942. From 1942 to 1944, he was a microbiologist on the staff of the du Pont de Nemours Foundation where he was in charge of research on industrial and agricultural bactericides, fungicides, and preservatives. In 1944 he accepted an appointment as geneticist and plant pathologist assigned the task of organizing and directing the Cooperative Wheat Research and Production Program in Mexico. This program, a joint undertaking by the Mexican government and the Rockefeller Foundation, involved scientific research in genetics, plant breeding, plant pathology, entomology, agronomy, soil science, and cereal technology. Within twenty years he was spectacularly successful in finding a high-yielding short-strawed, disease-resistant wheat. To his scientific goal he soon added that of the practical humanitarian: arranging to put the new cereal strains into extensive production in order to feed the hungry people of the world - and thus providing, as he says, "a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation," a breathing space in which to deal with the "Population Monster" and the subsequent environmental and social ills that too often lead to conflict between men and between nations. Statistics on the vast acreage planted with the new wheat and on the revolutionary yields harvested in Mexico, India, and Pakistan are given in the presentation speech by Mrs. Lionaes and in the Nobel lecture by Dr. Borlaug. Well advanced, also, is the use of the new wheat in six Latin American countries, six in the Near and Middle East, several in Africa.

Norman E. Borlaug Center for Southern Crop Improvement "I feel greatly honored to have this magnificent, superbly equipped research facility, The Center for Southern Crop Improvement, named in my honor. I applaud the Board of Regents, the State of Texas and the United States Department of Agriculture for collectively making the needs and dreams of research scientists involved in various phases of biotechnology, genetic engineering research, and plant and forest tree breeding,become realities. The last few days of this century are a fitting time to see this fine facility in operation.It is an effective base from which to expand an aggressive inter-disciplinary team effort to utilize the new methods and tools of biotechnology, combining them with the proven skills of conventional genetics-plant breeding to produce new and better commercial varieties and hybrids of our crop and forest species; thereby enabling farmers, ranchers and foresters to meet the rapidly growing demand for food and fiber during the first three decades of the next century, and achieving this with minimum negative impact on the environment. During the 1999 crop season approximately 50 percent of the USA soybean area was sown to varieties carrying tolerance to Round-up. About 25 percent of the area sown to corn is used for hybrids carrying the Bt gene. Similarly about 25 percent of the area sown to cotton is devoted to varieties containing the Bt gene.

R EASON * April 2000 Billions Served Three decades after he launched the Green Revolution, agronomist Norman Borlaug is still fighting world hungerand the doomsayers who say it's a lost cause. Interviewed by Ronald Bailey 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." But Borlaug and his team were already engaged in the kind of crash program that Ehrlich declared wouldn't work. Their dwarf wheat varieties resisted a wide spectrum of plant pests and diseases and produced two to three times more grain than the traditional varieties. In 1965, they had begun a massive campaign to ship the miracle wheat to Pakistan and India and teach local farmers how to cultivate it properly. By 1968, when Ehrlich's book appeared, the U.S. Agency for International Development had already hailed Borlaug's achievement as a "Green Revolution."

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.
