Dr. Norman Borlaug, Noble Peace Prize Laureate and one of ACSH s founding trustees, was a renowned agronomist and humanitarian. For his pioneering work in plant breeding, he was known as the Father of the Green Revolution. And for his work that brought desperately needed crops to developing countries, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Our Daily Bread, a new biography of Dr. Borlaug, was published this fall, and former ACSH trustee Dr. Henry I. Miller, now a Hoover Institute fellow, praises this account of Dr. Borlaug s life and work.
You can read Dr. Miller s overview of Noel Vietmeyer s new biography, which considers both Dr. Borlaug s scientific and humanitarian contributions, here.
Borlaug be praised
