Some Good News, Courtesy of a Minnesota-Educated Scientist

“Science has made it possible for 1.5 million farmers to nourish 7.7 billion people.”

That’s a modern American miracle that we don’t often think about, especially during this pandemic when we have too often focused on First World problems like a toilet tissue shortage and other short-term supply chain issues.

A Green Revolution has occurred in virtually every corner of the world and we should remember and celebrate Minnesota-educated Norman Borlaug, who received the Nobel Peace Price in 1970 for his work transforming wheat and rice into sustainable products that have nearly eradicated famine throughout the world, especially in India where starvation and hungry children were thought to be inevitable by many.

You can read the entire article on the “modern food miracle” brought about by Borlaug and other scientists HERE.
