Today i will write about one person I admire, his name is Norman Ernest Borlaug. 

Borlaug was an american agronomist who contribute to the Green Revolution or Third Agricultural Revolution, described like a set of research technology transfer initiatives, between 1960-1980.

In these years people was dying from starving in India, so Norman was invited to the country and they decide to plant new cereals varieties that he was developed. These new varieties of wheat, maize and rice was resistant to extreme climates and pests. Farm equipment was started to be used in farms also fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation.

In consecuence farm yield incresed and people stop dying

This Revolution was so relevant that Norman Borloug receive the Nobel Peace prize for saving thousands of people.

I wanted to write about Borloug beacause I think that the job of an Agronomist is to feed people and looking for new technicques to do it. Thanks to his job many people was saved and genetics was started to be used in agriculture
