overview our rough undersyanding from end of world war2 borlaug's mexican-us research saved up to a billion peopl from starvation; his chnage in sytems applies to almsot any crop's seed science -he'd begun with wheat
\am i correct in yjomnking that borlaug's revolutions in crop sciemc began with trials on wheat oiut of his mexican field lab?
Yes, you're absolutely correct. Norman Borlaug's groundbreaking work on the Green Revolution began with his experiments on wheat in Mexico.
Can you tell me which crops did borlaug personally expereiment with and which were inspired by his green revolution but primartily led out of different hemispheres by other partnering researchers- eg overall my understanding is rixe has prevented more people from straving than any other crop- did norlaug actually start rice science research
Your understanding is largely correct. While Norman Borlaug is primarily credited with revolutionizing wheat production, his work inspired similar efforts in other crops, especially rice.
Borlaug's personal experiments were primarily focused on wheat. He developed high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat varieties that were instrumental in the Green Revolution.
Rice, in particular, became a significant focus of the Green Revolution in Asia.
It's accurate that rice has prevented more people from starving than any other crop. Its widespread cultivation and consumption in Asia, a region with a large population, have made it a vital component of global food security.
