Father of ‘green revolution’ dies at 95 - Environment- msnbc.com

It's a pity more people don't know who this is. We devote far more of our attention to celebrities and don't revere actual heroes.

Normal Borlaug is credited with saving a billion lives. That's right, billion....with a b.

RIP

Indeed.

And before anyone pops in and says some derogatory things about the guy, "green revolution" =/= "green movement". The guy is responsible for creating high-yield crops to help feed impoverished nations.

Didn't know him.

RIP and thanks for what he did to humanity.
