'''[[Norman Borlaug]]''' is an [[United States|American]] [[agricultural science|agricultural scientist]], [[humanitarian]], [[Nobel Peace Prize|Nobel laureate]], and the father of the [[Green Revolution]]. During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of his [[cereal|grain]] and modern agricultural production techniques to [[Mexico]], [[Pakistan]], and [[India]]. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the [[food security]] in those nations. These collective increases in yield have been labeled the Green Revolution, and Borlaug is often credited with saving over a billion people from [[starvation]]. He was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to [[world peace]] through increasing food supply. More recently, he has helped apply these methods of increasing food production to [[Asia]] and [[Africa]]. Borlaug has continually advocated the use of his methods and [[biotechnology]] to decrease world [[famine]]; although his work has faced environmental and [[Socioeconomics|socioeconomic]] criticisms, he has repudiated most of those accusations. In 1986, he established the [[World Food Prize]] to recognize individuals who have improved the quality, quantity or availability of food around the globe.
