61. Norman Borlaug: Forgotten Benefactor Of Humanity -- Center For Global Food Issue
    norman borlaug, the agronomist whose discoveries sparked the Green Revolution,has saved literally millions of lives, yet he is hardly a household name.  
    http://www.highyieldconservation.org/articles/forgotten_benefactor.html
    
    Extractions: Borlaug is an eighty-two-year-old plant breeder who for most of the past five decades has lived in developing nations, teaching the techniques of high-yield agriculture. He received the Nobel in 1970 , primarily for his work in reversing the food shortages that haunted India and Pakistan in the 1960s. Perhaps more than anyone else, Borlaug is responsible for the fact that throughout the postwar era, except in sub-Saharan Africa, global food production has expanded faster than the human population, averting the mass starvations that were widely predicted for example, in the 1967 best seller Famine 1975! The form of agriculture that Borlaug preaches may have prevented a billion deaths. Yet although he has led one of the century's most accomplished lives, and done so in a meritorious cause, Borlaug has never received much public recognition in the United States, where it is often said that the young lack heroes to look up to. One reason is that Borlaug's deeds are done in nations remote from the media spotlight: the Western press covers tragedy and strife in poor countries, but has little to say about progress there. Another reason is that Borlaug's mission to cause the environment to produce significantly more food has come to be seen, at least by some securely affluent commentators, as perhaps better left undone. More food sustains human population growth, which they see as antithetical to the natural world.

    Extractions: The Paula Gordon Show A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR FOOD 3 min:07 secs Norman Borlaug's life is a tribute to what one person can do in the face of enormous obstacles: he has saved more lives than anyone in history. He has done it in the face of world wars, civil wars, famines, riots and bureaucratic obduracy. Norman Borlaug is the Father of the Green Revolution. In 1970, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. Now in his mid-80's, Dr. Borlaug is still fiercely committed to the fundamental importance of feeding the world's people.  He believes the ability to feed "the population monster" is central to civilization's survival. Human progress itself is at stake. In case you've forgotten, the Green Revolution made it possible to feed millions of people in India and Pakistan in the 1960's, people who otherwise would have starved to death. Grain yields were increased six fold. But the Green Revolution was about much more than just developing new seeds. Farmers had to learn how to plant those new seeds, how to fertilize the land, how to control the weeds and how to irrigate. Dr. Borlaug placed his bets on small farmers and won. Even as a Midwestern farm boy in the Depression, Norman Borlaug hated the site of human misery. That hasn't changed, though he's now seen enough misery world-wide to fill many lifetimes. He shares his sense of urgency when he talks about today's human misery and that which he anticipates if we cannot feed people. For starters, he's certain misery will not stay at home. You can't build peace on empty stomachs, he cautions. He's equally confident that if there is an "explosion" as he fears, not only will desperate people find their way across oceans and deserts, there will also be opportunists fishing in troubled waters.

Norman Borlaug It's a wonderful thing to see the University of Minnesota's own Norman Borlaug father of the Green Revolution as today's featured article at Wikipedia . The honor ain't quite as permanent as his 1970 Nobel Peace Prize , but it's much cooler. I doubt that any print encyclopedias have Borlaug articles with this sort of depth and fascination. I've often parted ways with my environmentalist brothers and sisters (including many Green Party members) about the Green Revolution: I believe quantity and access to food actually feeding people should always trump issues of organic, genetic, or hydrological purity. Borlaug puts it best in a quote from the article: "Some of the environmental lobbyists of the Western nations are the salt of the earth, but many of them are elitists. They've never experienced the physical sensation of hunger. They do their lobbying from comfortable office suites in Washington or Brussels. If they lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world, as I have for fifty years, they'd be crying out for tractors and fertilizer and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists back home were trying to deny them these things." Congratulations, Dr. Borlaug, may you remain among us another ninety years...

    Extractions: Search: Lycos Tripod 40 Yr Old Virgin Share This Page Report Abuse Edit your Site ... Next Dr. Norman Borlaug was born and raised on an Iowa farm and studied plant pathology at the University of Minnesota in the nineteen thirties. In 1944 he was asked by the Rockefeller Foundation to work in Mexico on a project to improve productivity of wheat. He and his staff worked for twenty years to develop a dwarf variety of wheat that put less of its energy into growing tall and more of its energy into growing fat kernels, while resisting several different plant pests. In 1965 he moved his attention to India and Pakistan, where he began a massive education campaign to get the new varieties to farmers, while continuing to further improve them. The results were dramatic indeed. Since 1970, the total yields of wheat in these two countries have increased by nearly ten times. This is why, despite the doubling of their populations, the populations of India and Pakistan are better fed today than at any time since 1965. The International Rice Research Institute modelled its methods on Borlaug's work with wheat, and later with corn, and has had similar outstanding success.

He's right that the story isn't getting much play, just as the much larger Rwandan massacres of the 1990s (supervised by Kofi Annan, who is now the UN Secretary General) didn't. Why is that? There are a lot of reasons. As I've written before , Africa is all screwed up and atrocities like this are pretty normal. We've tried sending money , but most of it gets stuck in Swiss bank accounts held by oppressive tyrants rather than spent on improving the lives of the African people. Africa has no democratic institutions and no cultural foundation for concensus-based majority rule.

    Extractions: Norman Borlaug's Legacy The clamor over genetically enhanced crops has reached a fevered pitch in France. In the last few months, a group of neo-luddite radicals have crisscrossed the countryside razing fields and sowing baseless paranoia. In one evening alone, more than 1,500 people led by anti-globalization militant Jose Bove tore the crops out by their roots as police stood by and watched. "For us," Bove has exclaimed, "this combat will not stop." While an alarming number of Gauls have found an inauspicious hero in Bove, Third World farmers have their own champion in the person of Norman Borlaug . And although they probably don't know him by name, Borlaug (father of the "Green Revolution," which dramatically increased agricultural yields in the 1960s and 70s) is slowly becoming an unlikely folk hero.

His visit and lecture are an appropriate way to inaugurate the York Distinguished Lecturer Series, particularly with the world focus on famine in Ethiopia and the population explosion in Africa. Norman E. Borlaug was born in Cresco, Iowa in 1914. He received a B.S. in forestry from the University of Minnesota in 1937. After three years with the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho and Massachusetts, he returned to the University of Minnesota where he received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in plant pathology in 1940 and 1941. Borlaug served as an instructor while he was a graduate student at Minnesota. From 1942 and 1944, he worked as a microbiologist for E.I. Dupont and Company, Wilmington, Delaware, where he conducted research on agricultural chemicals.

    Extractions: Norman Borlaug By Jeanne Griffith ITHACA, N.Y. "The whole issue of sustainability is a difficult one, because it's sustainability for how many and at what standard of living? This we should never forget," said Nobel Peace Prize laureate Norman Borlaug, speaking April 29 as part of the closing centennial observance of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University. Borlaug, whose work to improve wheat yields throughout the developing world launched Asia's green revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, spoke at the Golden Age of Innovation Symposium, which also featured Per Pinstrup-Andersen, the H.E. Babcock Professor of Food, Nutrition and Public Policy and a professor of applied economics at Cornell, and Maxine Singer, former president of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., and a molecular geneticist during a three-decade research career at the National Institutes of Health. Pinstrup-Andersen was the 2001 recipient of the World Food Prize, a $250,000 award conceived by Borlaug in 1985. Opening the symposium, Cornell President Jeffrey Lehman noted 80 years of CALS involvement in international agriculture and the college's central importance in Cornell's role as a transnational university. His remarks were punctuated by protests from students opposing Cornell's plans to locate a parking lot on West Campus.

Working in Mexico in the mid-1960s, Dr. Norman Borlaug - a central figure in the "green revolution" - and his team developed a special breed of dwarf wheat that resisted a wide spectrum of plant pests and diseases and produced two to three times more grain than the traditional varieties. Borlaug introduced this wheat to India and Pakistan, which, after years of drought, were on the verge of famine. Wheat production quadrupled in a decade; by today that increase is tenfold. By 1974 India was self-sufficient in the production of all cereals. Pakistan progressed from harvesting
