Norman Borlaug (Agricultural Development)

Norman Borlaug was an American agronomist and humanitarian, often called the "Father of the Green Revolution." His work in the mid-20th century developed high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat varieties, significantly increasing food production in countries like Mexico and India. Borlaug’s innovations helped combat global hunger and poverty, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. By promoting advanced agricultural techniques and sustainable practices, he played a crucial role in preventing famine and improving food security worldwide. His legacy continues to influence agricultural research and development today.
