Norman Borlaug was an American agronomist and humanitarian, often referred to as the "Father of the Green Revolution." Born in 1914, he developed high-yielding varieties of wheat that significantly increased food production in developing countries, particularly in Mexico, India, and Pakistan. His work helped avert famines and improve food security for millions. Borlaug's research focused on plant breeding and agricultural practices, which led to the introduction of disease-resistant crops. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. His legacy continues to influence modern agriculture and efforts to combat hunger worldwide.
