During the previous decade, many people on the planet Earth, most notably in China and the Asian Subcontinent, were facing starvation, even famine. Borlaug's revolutionary achievements relieved widespread human suffering and brought peace.Dr. Borlaug was hailed as the person who saved the lives of more people--hundreds of millions--from starvation than any person in history. He earned the distinction as one of the 100 most influential individuals of the 20th century. His is an inspiring story; he went from an unpretentious Iowa farm boy to scientist-cum-humanist of world acclaim.
