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."

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.
