- A documentary film about Norman Borlaug, the Iowa farm boy who saved over a billion people from starvation.
Americans have little knowledge of one of their greatest sons. Why do schoolchildren in China, India, Mexico, and Pakistan know the name and work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug while so few of his countrymen have never heard of him? How did a dirt-poor farm boy from rural Iowa grow up to save a billion people worldwide from starvation and malnutrition and become the father of the Green Revolution? What were the inherited traits and environmental factors that shaped his astonishing journey and led to successes that surprised even him? What can we learn from his life and views that might help the human race survive the next critical century?
One of the greatest men who had one of the greatest positive impacts on all humanity. My hero!
I’m Mexican and love my flour tortillas never new about this man before. More important than helping people is helping them help themselves
Thank you Norman Borlaugh for feeding the world🙏
Of course, no one would watch this in their leisure time. This was a homework assignment to watch the documentary and write an essay.
Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! I'm watching this for fun.
All I can say is, WOW! Thanks for sharing.

What a legend.
What a wonderful man! I will never forget him after watching the story of what a great human he was! My new hero too!
Half of the world don't know who this man is. #Sad #GreatMan
I doubt if even half know of Dr Borlaug, and yes that's very sad but even he didn't want the recognition and that makes him an even greater man.
Find it strange I learned about Norman Borlaug from Penn and Teller's Bullshit show.
Why aren't they teaching about him in our schools? A hero not from the sword, but from the heart.
Thanks!
MADE ME THINK THINK HARD
im just doing this for a homework assignment. #StateEducation
me too for a quiz
This thing sucks ass
@@daquanmcchicken3878 Don't disrespect Norman like that, he's the reason you could even eat you ungrateful piece of garbage. Try watching, understanding, and learning for once. I don't even like homework I'm just a kid in the 12th grade watching this for homework but this is actually so interesting, I found a whole new respect for someone I didn't even know existed until an hour ago.
gracias desde copiapo
Alguien sabe donde lo puedo encontrar en español?
Norman had a strange accent?
"Borlaug was the great-grandchild of Norwegian immigrants. Ole Olson Dybevig and Solveig Thomasdatter Rinde, in Feios, a small village in Vik kommune, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway, emigrated to Dane County, Wisconsin in 1854.[citation needed] The family eventually moved to the small Norwegian-American community of Saude, near Cresco, Iowa. There they were members of Saude Lutheran Church, where Norman was both baptized and confirmed."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug
Growing up around Norwegian community & family in the early 1900s without a lot of outside influences, such as TV will definitely give one an accent.
Did you know you can use microwaves to heat gold ? First use solar or wind power to make electricity...Then use electricity to microwave gold... Your going to need something bigger then the microwave for your house ... So research how microwaves work .. then make a bigger one. This gold gets so hot it can be used to make steam..Be careful to keep it under 5000 or it will turn into a vapor.. .. the steam can be distilled into clean water that can water farms to produce food..You can get the water from the Ocean... By: Joshua Franklin Allen If you can borrow a towns power near the ocean they can build it.. Use the steam to pump the water up to the highest elevation possible then when it condenses it will run down hill, towards the drought. When you can not reach any further ...Use the same process to vaporize the water again. Send the water back up to highest possible elevation..(Use natural formations to your advantage example mountains , hills , rock formations..)Then let it go back down hill until you can reach the drought area.

How stoned were you when you wrote this?

I'm sure he felt he was helping at the time and it seemed he did for a while bc people have to eat .. but this was one of the 1st GMOd crops that has caused an explosion of Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance today ... the wheat of this world is not good for our bodies bc man altered it !
That is dumbest thing I have ever heard anyone say.
Nature modified it. He had the tools, know how, and drive to help Mother Nature along.
The gluten intolerance is caused by too many fuckers going to Olive Garden just for the bead sticks. Mixed with that food and you're lucky if only a Xenomorph shoots out of your chest that night.
Norman completed his plant breeding without GMO technology, which makes his accomplishments even more remarkable. Today, there is still not GMO wheat commercially available - which means that NONE of the wheat you eat is GMO.
