Freedom From Famine: The Norman Borlaug Story Doc Trailer V2
06:57  - 1 year ago
Revised version of a documentary film trailer about Dr. Norman Borlaug, the Father of the Green Revolution. Through his pioneering cross-breeding strategies with wheat in Mexico from the 1940s to the present day, he and his team were able to supply highly productive seeds and growing technology to India, Pakistan, and other countries in the 1960s. This resulted in the reversal of their impending famine. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1070 and, at age 93, was awarded the Congrsssional Gold Medal last year. He is credited with saving a billion people from starvation and is still at work today seeking solutions to the current global food crisis.
