Borlaug (Norman Borlaug)

Norman Borlaug was an influential scientist and agriculturalist credited with developing high-yield, disease-resistant wheat varieties. His work in the mid-20th century significantly increased food production, particularly in developing countries, helping to prevent famine and improve global food security. Often called the "Father of the Green Revolution," Borlaug's innovations contributed to transforming agriculture, enabling countries to grow more food on less land, and earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. His efforts helped lift millions of people out of hunger and demonstrated the vital role of scientific research in solving global challenges.
