Father of “Green Revolution,” Norman Borlaug 1914-2009

sonia Environmental issues

The father of the “Green Revolution,” Norman Borlaug, died yesterday. If you didn’t know about him, you should. By creating new types of high-yield, disease-resistant wheat, he saved millions from starvation. This is a good story about him, and you can also read about him here. The WSJ said this about him: “more than any other single person Borlaug showed that nature is no match for human ingenuity in setting the real limits to growth.”

He will be missed.

    Hey I found your blog today linked from Human Events. I really like what I see. I’ll be sure to regularly stop in.

    I am a 26 year old grad student from Chicago and I have a humble little blog of my own (A Voice in the Wilderness) and here’s my latest piece:
