Hi guys!


I chose a expert in agronomy, that is considered the father of the green revolution: Norman Borlaug.

Norman Borlaug was an american agronomist. He studied at the University of Minnesota and his specialization area was plant pathology. In 1964, with 50 years old he was made director of the International Wheat Improvement Program, that was part of CIMMYT (International Center of Research and Improvement of Wheat and Maize, I want to work in this place sometime of my life).

He won Peace Nobel laureate for his role in the development of hybrid seeds, which had features that increased yield of wheat, like semi-dwarf plants or resistant to diseases. Borlaug led the introduction of these varities combined, with new techniques of crop and modern technology. Between 60' and 70' wheat yields nearly doubled in some places of the world, and permitted save a billion people worldwide from starvation. 

I like Noman Borlaug because my dream since I entered to study agronomy, is to know the most techniques effective to produce crops, because crops are food and I can't believe that in this times with all the advances, still many people die for hunger. Is so sad to me, and a phrase of Norman Borlaug is very representative of my thought: "food is the moral right of all who are born into this world". 

Well see you!!
