 In comjunction with AI20s.com we'll keep asking who are the intelligence in 2020s matching Borlaug (the first open intellihence net saving billions of lves from starvation after ww2) - oue all time fav innovator of last mile food science for humanity and memoralised by annual lauretaes of FoodPrize

come back soon for more detail -or eg search emanuel faber's latest ai social business impacts (former ceo danone - europe main milk and water human investment infrastructure - in 2005 fanone brainstirmed what became muhammad yunus nobel speech in 2006 - see also glasgow ynuversity journal od social businees started as yunus 70th birtday present from adam smith scholars and our aild ally the French)

overview our rough understanding 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. His research at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) led to the development of high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat varieties that were pivotal in increasing food production and combating hunger in many parts of the world.

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. However, the success of his work in Mexico inspired similar efforts in other parts of the world, including Asia.  

Rice, in particular, became a significant focus of the Green Revolution in Asia. While Borlaug did not personally lead the rice research, his work provided a model for developing high-yielding varieties of this staple crop. Scientists in countries like India, the Philippines, and Indonesia played a crucial role in developing and promoting new rice varieties that contributed significantly to increased food production and reduced hunger.  

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.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk writes its important to follow up your own nation intelligence inspire by borlaug; those who directly follow borlaug look at his impact in usa, and pretty soon india amnd rice sdcieence out of phillipines IRRI where american foundations lie rockefleer started IRRI for rice

hiwever its also the case in the 1960s that japans rice research quicjly inspired korea, taiwan and then all countries  in asia west pof phollipines and taiwan offoicillay became second lab parallel to iiri for multiple vegetables including rice; when bangladesh lauched as a new nation in 1971, brac brought rice sceience directly to preventing massive starvation and chian had started to need to be the greatest rioce science can feed a nation epicentre- today china catalogue sove a milliuon rice seeds; its important to disinguish between nations where cropnscience is seen to be startegically core to tyhe nation to open source for small farmers and other nations which have not ultimately priortitised any foods as the states deep data responsibility; in some cases corporate crop science has deviated from being a public good trying to introduce variants prioroitiosing profits instyead of sdg 2 prevent starvation

; we also get ino troublesome aea of where did carbon fertlisers take pover from organic production; for all tese reasons it will be vital that AI  reasserts national sovereignty of data on food - we hypothesise that omly the rivjhest city nations can afford to be dependent on some other nationms food productionm

whats interesting from 2012 is where the nmatural sciemce ai models around hassabis and deep mind may connevct with agricukture as well as boiiotech (eg 250 million protyein databank alphafold3) and paralel ai sceince breakthroughs that hassabis type games/pattern recognityion m odels amy uniquely help milennials to advanvcce -eg as climate science needs to  timeline how fast agricuklturral  chnage is determined by weather's inetractoipms with the future that teh world  bank overall intelligence calls livable planmet partnership invetsments
