Nobel Prize-winning scientist Norman Borlaug, father of the 'Green Revolution', dies at age 95
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Dallas - Agricultural scientist Norman Borlaug, the father of the "green revolution" who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in combating world hunger and saving hundreds of millions of lives, died Saturday in Texas, a Texas A&M University spokeswoman said. He was 95. Borlaug died just before 11 p.m. Saturday at his home in Dallas from complications of cancer, said school spokeswoman Kathleen Phillips. Phillips said Borlaug's granddaughter told her about his death.
Borlaug was a distinguished professor at the university in College Station. The Nobel committee honored Borlaug in 1970 for his contributions to high-yield crop varieties and bringing other agricultural innovations to the developing world. Many experts credit the green revolution with averting global famine during the second half of the 20th century and saving perhaps 1 billion lives.

Another true American in my Books. ..."We would like his life to be a model for making a difference in the lives of others and to bring about efforts to end human misery for all mankind," his children said in a statement. "One of his favorite quotes was, 'Reach for the stars. Although you will never touch them, if you reach hard enough, you will find that you get a little 'star dust' on you in the process.'"

Pm and Diamond ...Is interesting when you start pondering questions about information on investing on food commodities and the best stocks for investment.
Then suddenly I found myself reading in the web site related news about agricultural trends about rice and the topic about the demand of short rice from California in the middle east. Then I came across this article that you guys just read.

Nicely written obituary. ...Nicely written obituary. With his work he continues to save lives every day and will do so well into the future.
What a legacy. If I can achieve a tiny drop of what he did I'll consider my life well lived.
