who is the fater of green revolution?

Answer 1

Biologist Norman Borlaug, who turned 90 years old this week. His research helped to spark the "Green Revolution" in agriculture . Borlaug promoted inorganic fertilizers to create higher yields crops -- and for his efforts at curbing world hunger, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. But today, many environmentalists are challenging the "Green Revolution" and urge a shift back to organic fertilizers. Borlaug says the theories of who he calls "extreme greenies" would be inadequate to feed the world.

Answer 2

That title normally goes to Norman Borlaug, but in my opinion, he was the beneficiary of what others had done. The real credit should go to Mexican president Camacho, who had the foresight to see the need for raising the Mexican peasant farmers from subsistance status in 1940/1. With the encouragement of U.S. V. Pres Henry Wallace, whose family had already developed hybrid corn, the Rockefeller Foundation established the Office of Special Studies under Camacho's regime. Among it's scientists was the young Borlaug, who joined the program in 1944, and over the next 20 years developed a disease and drought resistant variety of high yielding wheat.
