Norman Ernest Borlaug, also known as Norma Burlang, was a prominent American
agronomist, geneticist, and phytopathologist, widely regarded as the father of modern
agriculture and the Green Revolution, a movement that revolutionized global food
production and saved countless lives. He was born on March 25, 1914, in Cresco, Iowa,
United States, and his legacy continues to inspire many in the fight against hunger and the
promotion of peace through scientific advancement in agriculture.
After earning his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from the University of Minnesota in 1942,
Borlaug began his career collaborating with the Rockefeller Foundation and the
Government of Mexico. It was in Mexico where he founded the International Maize and
Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in 1963, a pivotal milestone in his career that
marked the beginning of a series of agricultural.
Innovations that would change the course of history.
His pioneering work in developing high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice was
instrumental in addressing cereal supply issues in many marginalized regions of the Third
World. He closely collaborated with governments worldwide, including those in Ibero-
America, India, Pakistan, and the Middle East, aiming to implement sustainable agricultural
practices and improve global food security.
The semi-dwarf wheat varieties introduced by Borlaug in the early 21st century
revolutionized food production, representing the majority of wheat cultivated in both
developed and developing countries. In Spain, for example, approximately 90% of wheat
traces its origins to varieties developed by Borlaug, highlighting his significant impact on

global food security.His tireless dedication to combating hunger and promoting peace
through agriculture did not go unnoticed. In 1970, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
recognition of his crucial role in seeking innovative solutions to global food challenges.
This award not only honored his individual achievements but also symbolized the
importance of agriculture in building a fairer and more equitable world.
Throughout his life, Borlaug received over 40 honorary doctorates from universities
worldwide, a testament to the profound impact he had in the field of agriculture and science
at large. His commitment to research and innovation led to him being awarded an honorary
Doctorate by the Polytechnic University of Madrid in 2000, a well-deserved recognition of
his extraordinary legacy.
Norman E. Borlaug passed away on September 12, 2009, in Dallas, Texas, leaving behind a
lasting legacy that continues to inspire present and future generations to follow his example
in the fight against hunger and the promotion of peace through scientific advancement in
agriculture. His life and work are an eternal reminder of the transformative power of
science and dedication to the welfare of humanity.
