Green Revolution - Plants, Not Politics
The Father of the Green Revolution, Norman Borlaug, died this weekend at the age of 95.
His agricultural leadership in the face of conventional 'wisdom' led to marked gains in agricultural productivity in the 1960's.
Millions were saved from death by starvation and famine.
Norman Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his contribution to mankind.
