7.Norman E Borlaug,95,an American plant pathologist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970for starting the"Green Revolution"that increased food production in developing nations and saved millions of people from starvation,died on Saturday September 12,2009at his home in Dallas."He has helped provide bread for a hungry world,"the Nobel committee said in honor of him."Dr Borlaug has introduced a dynamic factor(动态因素)into our assessment of the future of food and its potential."
Dr Borlaug was hardly known in the country of his birth,the USA.But in India,Mexico,Russia and other nations with hunger and famine(饥荒),he was known as one of the great Americans of modem times.Edwin Price,director of the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M University,once accompanied Dr Borlaug to Russia,where he visited a wheat research institute south of Moscow."When Norman came in,"Price said,"the scientists at the institute all cried."
From the 1970s until his death,he increasingly took the politically incorrect view that environmentalists were bothering world food production by attacking the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药).
Dr Borlaug's career included his ability of science to increase food production at a high rate and the nightmare(噩梦)of an exploding population beyond its ability to feed itself.His work took him from the Iowa farm where he grew up to the primitively planted wheat fields of Mexico in the 1940s,the rice fields of Asia in the 1960s and 1970s to the plains of Africa in the 1980s.
In his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize,he said an enough supply of food is"the first term of social justice…Otherwise there will be no peace."He warned that the world would have too many mouths to feed.
