- Dr. Norman E. Borlaug is credited with saving more lives than any other person who has ever lived. Through his scientific breakthroughs, he developed a strain of wheat that saved upwards of one billion people from famine and starvation. His techniques have been adapted around the globe, and he was honored with the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for his achievements. In 1986, Dr. Borlaug founded the World Food Prize to inspire and recognize the similar achievements that are needed to feed our ever-expanding world.

Sometimes doing good causes harm. Why is wheat so harmful to the body?
And if slander and libel is not enough, they seem to have little problem with resorting to violence and vandalism.
No livro A Ditadura Escancarada de Autoria de Elio Gaspari ,Editora Intrínseca 2° edição informa que Norman Borlaug foi o criador do Milho Hibrido? Isto é verdadeiro? Consultando a Internet não é exatamente isto que entendi.Estou certo ou errado?
My video stops at 2:53. It won't let me watch the rest.

@ashevillecat Sir the "third world" is actually a misleading term that is used to label nations who were actually POORER before the European imperialism. Cheap labor already existed too just that it was called SLAVE labor. Mexicans would be crossing to US even if they were only a thousand of them in their Nation. Biodiversity is precisely what worried Borlaug: Unlike you, he opened a book and noticed that population grew regardless of anything and humans solved that by cutting more trees.
@dayvconsir The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let's not forget that Borlaug was Monsanto's biggest champion up until his death. Borlaug saw "yield" in the narrow sense of "single yield" (i.e, just the grain from a wheat crop) rather than the "total yield" subsistence farmers see. The old wheat varieties, for example, yield less grain butt much more hay. Borlaug couldn't have believed that his varieties, plus the extra fertilizer and water they need, would be given away for free.
@EpiDemic117 What kind of an argument is that? I think I remember it from kindergarten.
Thanks Norman, without you we wouldn't have any cheap labor to exploit in the third world making out clothes and shoes, there wouldn't be a millions of Hispanics desperately crossing the desert into the US in search of work, agricultural biodiversity wouldn't be threatened, and we might have more than a few decades of crucial mineral fertilizers left. Monsanto and ADM sing praises to you every night, though!
Are you really gonna try and cite the Old Testament? haha
what a wicked man.
Norm is a great human being but there is one person who has saved more lives than Norm and that's Jesus Christ
Why should people suffer in fear all their lives thanks to this man? Why did he do all this and get away with causing all this? You can stave off famine with nature, but you deceived yourself and because you didn't believe in Jesus Christ and God's promises, that's why you were unfamiliar that famine would strike those who were ungodly. It's your fault for all this evil, but I guess I still love you even though your the earth's enemy.

Over and over the Bible says each has a purpose. His purpose was to keep people from starving. You sound like the Pharisees condemning Christ for healing on the Sabbath.

Leviticus 19:19 (KJV) Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
Now there's people in fear of what they consume, what they drink, and what they have to worry about in their environment. All thanks to this. Not a hero, but a villain. Sadly, even a devil.
shut up clown
Deuteronomy 22:9 (KJV) Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
If only you understood how nature worked well enough, you could have come up with another solution.
Enough with the religious bunk, do you know how ridiculous you sound saying stuff like that?
