Norman Borlaug, Ph.D., Senior Consultant, Agriculture
Dr. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for launching the 'Green Revolution' in Asia and for his lifetime of work to help feed the hungry. Since 1986, he has led the Sasakawa-Global 2000 Agriculture Program, a joint venture between the Sasakawa Africa Association and The Carter Center's Global 2000 program. The effort has helped more than 4,000,000 small-scale farmers in 15 sub-Saharan African countries to increase crop production.
Born March 25, 1914, Dr. Borlaug was awarded his doctorate in plant pathology in 1942 by the University of Minnesota. He served at the Rockefeller Foundation as the scientist in charge of wheat improvement under the Cooperative Mexican Agriculture.
