Summary
"In 1966, drought and an exploding population confronted India with the imminent threat of a severe famine that many scientists and intellectuals feared was a harbringer of global catastrophes to come, as the world's population outstripped its ability to produce food. India turned to Norman Borlaug, an unassuming plant breeder from Iowa whose combination of scientific knowledge and raw determination had made him a legend among a small handful of fellow specialists. The Man Who Tried to Feed the World recounts the story of the man who would not only solve India{u2019}s family problem, but would go on to lead a 2Green Revolution3 of worldwide agriculture programs, saving countless lives. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for this work but spent the rest of his life watching his methods and achievements come under increasing fire." --, Container
