Honoring A Visionary

Who saved more lives than anyone else in the world? Norman Borlaug, 1970 Nobel Laureate and father of the Green Revolution.

Former President Jimmy Carter, George McGovern and scientists throughout the world are joining the AgBioWorld Foundation in celebrating the 90th birthday of this eminent scholar.

"Dr. Norman Borlaug was the father of the Green Revolution that transformed much of the hungry Third World," said former senator George McGovern. "Dr. Borlaug's scientific leadership not only saved people from starvation, but the high-yield seeds he bred saved millions of square miles of wildlife from being plowed down. He is one of the great men of our age."

The AgBioWorld Foundation has compiled a series of links outlining major milestones in Borlaug’s life.
