Borlaug, Ph.D. Printer Format E-mail Information While historians seem disproportionately infatuated with documenting brutal dictators who ruthlessly murder millions, a great deal less attention is paid to truly noble men — men like Norman Borlaug. Dr. Borlaug is credited with saving a billion people from starvation. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. At a time when neo-Malthusians predicted bloody revolutions triggered by food shortages, Dr. Borlaug's development of high-yielding, disease-resistant dwarf wheat strains sparked instead what's come to be called the Green Revolution, transforming wheat production in Mexico, Asia, and Latin America. The effect has been nothing short of phenomenal. Today, Dr. Borlaug continues his work to stave off starvation in the Third World, especially in some of the hardest-hit regions of sub-Saharan Africa. His accomplishments haven't gone entirely unnoticed by the public — even comedians and political commentators like Showtime's infamous duo Penn and Teller.

In a recent episode of their series on Showtime, Penn and Teller, in complete seriousness, named Norman Borlaug the greatest person in history. NBC's popular television drama series

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.

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.
