Extractions: HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL 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. For the past twenty-seven years he has collaborated with Mexican scientists on problems of wheat improvement; for the last ten or so of those years he has also collaborated with scientists from other parts of the world, especially from India and Pakistan, in adapting the new wheats to new lands and in gaining acceptance for their production. An eclectic, pragmatic, goal-oriented scientist, he accepts and discards methods or results in a constant search for more fruitful and effective ones, while at the same time avoiding the pursuit of what he calls "academic butterflies". A vigorous man who can perform prodigies of manual labor in the fields, he brings to his work the body and competitive spirit of the trained athlete, which indeed he was in his high school and college days. 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.

Extractions: Norman E. Borlaug before a sign for his experimental wheat field in Sonora state, Mexico, 1983 Ted Streshinsky/Corbis (b. March 25, 1914, Cresco, Iowa, U.S.), American agricultural scientist, plant pathologist, and winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1970. He was one of those who laid the groundwork of the so-called Green Revolution, the agricultural technological advance that promised to alleviate world hunger. He studied plant biology and forestry at the University of Minnesota and earned a Ph.D. in plant pathology there in 1941. From 1944 to 1960 he served as research scientist at the Rockefeller Foundation's Cooperative Mexican Agricultural Program in Mexico. At a research station at Campo Atizapan he developed strains of grain that dramatically increased crop yields. Wheat production in Mexico multiplied threefold in the time that he worked with the Mexican government; "dwarf" wheat imported in the mid-1960s was responsible for a 60 percent increase in harvests in Pakistan and India. He also created a wheat-rye hybrid known as triticale. The increased yields resulting from Borlaug's new strains enabled many developing countries to become agriculturally self-sufficient.

Extractions: Carrie Elfers, Student Participant Charles City High School Spreading Facts: Biotechnology and Education Currently the world population is six billion. In an address to the 2000 World Food Prize Symposium, Dr. Norman Borlaug predicted a population increase to eight billion in the next 20 to 30 years. He also said that more than half of that growth will occur in areas where they are already having a hard time raising enough food to feed the population (Lucht, "Norman Borlaug Frail in Body, Strong in Spirit"). Biotechnology promises to help feed these people. This technology is criticized by many environmentalists. Borlaug feels "a scientifically uneducated public" also threatens biotechnology (Looker). A step needed in changing these views is educating the educators about biotechnology. The most important concern is feeding the hungry. Biotechnology promises to produce increased yields. "Bioengineering of Crops" predicts that the Rockefeller Foundation’s backing of rice biotechnology may increase rice yields in Asia by 25 percent within ten years ("Biotechnology Can Boost"). Biotechnology is just another tool to speed research and feed more people. Borlaug emphasizes that this technology is nothing new because nature has always modified crops and man has used crossbreeding for centuries (Lucht, "Norman Borlaug Frail in Body, Strong in Spirit"). Biotechnology not only will help to increase food production and to improve its nutritional value but also will help to save land and water. Scientists are able to insert genes into seeds to make them able to resist diseases and pests, able to grow in negative soil conditions, and able to produce higher yields and crops with higher nutritional value. Decreasing the use of herbicides and insecticides will help improve soil and water quality. Biotechnology works well with soil conservation methods such as no-till farming. Many developing countries have less than favorable soil conditions, and biotechnology will allow crops to grow in these soils. These conservation benefits are important as world agricultural attempts to feed the growing population on existing land and water supplies. Dr. Borlaug in the epilogue of Norman Borlaug on World Hunger says the following:

Extractions: The United States produces enough food for the whole world to eat, but the food is not distributed evenly enough. The United States tries to do its part in solving the world food problem. In this country, only two to five percent of the population is engaged in farming, and we still have enough to export. Yet, in starving nations, 70 to 80 percent of people are engaged in subsistence agriculture, and still cannot produce adequate food for themselves, let alone export any crops to help themselves or their economy. One reason for this is the lack of agricultural knowledge; they lack the knowledge of how to grow better crops, the ability to keep insects and weeds away, and the ability to make the best use of their land. This is due to the lack of school teachers and even scientists to guide them. These starving countries also lack a research program to help determine how to increase crop production. People protest that food should not be modified on a genetic level. They say that it is not safe to eat such altered food. These criticizers have a problem, though. They cannot answer why is it not safe to eat food that comes from genetically modified crops. There really is no proven harmful effects from eating this type of food. Scientifically, it is not harmful to humans; however, there is still an extensive argument over the issue.
