Green Revolution icon and Nobel Peace Laureate Norman Borlaug on his 90th birthday, 2004. Norman Borlaug, 94, told USAID officials that the world should avoid “complacency” in fighting the current food crisis and called for increased agricultural research to create a second Green Revolution. He warned that a new virulent race of wheat stem rust is spreading from Uganda and could reach India and the United States in coming years, severely cutting grain harvests.
