Biographical Sketch of Norman E. Borlaug (1914-2009)
Norman Ernest Borlaug, B.S. (1937), M.S. (1941), Ph.D. (1942)
University of Minnesota. Winner of the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of
his development of high-yield, disease resistant wheat that is credited with
saving billions of people from starvation. Widely considered the public face of
the Green Revolution, creator of the World Food Prize (1987), winner of the
Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977), and Congressional Gold Medal (2007).
Norman Borlaug was born on March 25, 1914 in Cresco, Iowa to parents
Henry and Clara Borlaug. Borlaug grew up on the family’s grain and dairy farm
and received his early education in a one room schoolhouse that served the
rural community of Saude, Iowa. After graduating from Cresco High School in
1932 he applied for admission to the University of Minnesota. Despite initially
failing his entrance exam he re-applied and began his academic career in the
University’s General College in 1933, eventually transferring to the College of
Agriculture and majoring in Forestry. Borlaug received his B.S. in forestry in
1937 and married Margaret Gibson that same year. Between 1938 and 1939 he
worked for the United States Forestry Service in both Massachusetts and Idaho.
Borlaug earned two more degrees from the University of Minnesota: a M.S. in
plant pathology in 1941 (supervised by C. M. Christiansen) and Ph.D. in plant
pathology and genetics in 1942 (supervised by J.M. Christiansen). During his
tenure at the University of Minnesota he worked closely with E.C. Stakman, head
of the Division of Plant Pathology. Borlaug was also an accomplished athlete,
earning a berth on the University’s Big 10 wrestling squad.
Borlaug was employed as a plant pathologist for E.I. DuPont in
Wilmington, Delaware from 1942-1944. In 1944 he was approached by the
Rockefeller Foundation and the Mexican government to participate in a new
program designed to expand agricultural production in Mexico. Borlaug accepted
the Rockefeller offer and moved to Mexico where he served as the organizer and
director of the Cooperative Wheat Research and Production Program located
outside of Ciudad Obregon. With a team of Mexican student scientists, he began
analyzing soil fertility, farming methods and crop output, as well as
experimenting with an array of wheat varieties bred to combat wheat rust.
Borlaug’s teams focused on three aspects of increased production: creating
disease-resistant wheat hybrids, developing adaptability in the hybrids to
guarantee that they would grow in diverse climates and conditions, and breeding
features into the hybrids that generated higher yields. After years of
experimentation, Borlaug’s work in the field succeeded in producing an
adaptable, disease-resistant, high-yield hybrid wheat. By 1956, Mexico was
self-sustaining in wheat production for the first time in its history.
With the success of hybridized wheat in Mexico, the Rockefeller
Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) sent Borlaug to Northern Africa, Iran, India and Pakistan in 1959 to
investigate the possibility of applying the new techniques developed in Mexico
to African and Asian wheat and barley crop production. In 1964 the Ford and
Rockefeller Foundations established the International Maize and Wheat
Improvement Center/ Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maize y Trigo
(CIMMYT), an autonomous international research training institute. CIMMYT was
modeled on the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), a experimental
rice-breeding station in the Philippines which brought together young
scientists from around the world to study and apply food-plant breeding and
cultivation methods. Borlaug was named the director of CIMMYT’s International
Wheat Improvement Program in 1966. During the late 1960s and early 1970s,
Pakistan and India sent scientists to Mexico for field training under Borlaug’s
supervision. Both governments also imported tons of Mexican hybrid wheat seed
for local planting. The South Asian program was an enormous success,
dramatically raising yields and significantly reducing hunger in both
countries.
After the success of Mexico, the Rockefeller Foundation invested in
other cooperative food production projects around the globe focusing on
increasing rice, corn, potatoes and cassava yields using Borlaug’s rigorous
field methods.
For his contributions toward in plant breeding and high-yield
planting, Norman Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. He has
since become known as the public face of the Green Revolution, a movement
associated with dramatic advances in agriculture and food production and
distribution following World War II.
Dr. Borlaug served as the director of the CIMMYT Wheat Program until
1979, but continued on as a consultant for many years. Throughout the 1980s and
1990s he continued his field work and research, collaborating with former
president Jimmy Carter and Japanese philanthropist Ryoichi Sasakawa to improve
food production in sub-Saharan Africa. As president of the Sasakawa Africa
Association and senior consultant of the Global 2000 initiative, he taught in
the field and lectured extensively on the interconnection of technology,
infrastructure and land use in addressing global hunger. In 1984 he became a
distinguished professor of international agriculture at Texas A&M
University. In 1987 he established the World Food Prize, a Nobel-styled award
recognizing innovation in food production for the purpose of advancing world
peace. He received over 50 honorary degrees and awards, including the Vannevar
Bush Award for lifetime achievement in science and the National Medal of
Science (2006); the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977); the Congressional
Gold Medal (2007); the Public Welfare Medal from the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences (2002); and the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award
(2006). Dr. Borlaug has served on the faculty of the University of Minnesota,
University of Iowa, Cornell University and most recently at Texas A&M
University. Norman Borlaug died on September 12, 2009.
Collection Scope and Content Note
The collection consists of the personal and professional papers of
Norman E. Borlaug, including, correspondence, publications, field notes,
speeches and lectures, photographs, and awards and honorary degrees. Borlaug is
primarily known as the public face of “The Green Revolution,” an international
scientific and political alignment during the 1950s and 1960s that produced a
worldwide shift in crop production methods.
The majority of the materials were assembled at CIMMYT, the Mexican
research institute in Texacoco where Borlaug was a director for several
decades. The current arrangement was created after the second shipment of
papers to the University of Minnesota in 2002.
Biographical materials include family genealogy, and oral history
transcript from a 1967 interview conducted by the Rockefeller foundation and
numerous substantive periodical articles about Borlaug written between 1960 and
1999.
The Nobel Prize Series is composed of an outline and numerous drafts
of Borlaug’s Nobel acceptance speech, including drafts with comments from
colleagues E.C. Stakman and M.S. Swaminathan. Clippings of the Nobel award
compiled by CIMMYT staff are also included in the series.
Correspondence includes letters between Borlaug and colleagues,
co-workers, friends, biographers, business people, American and foreign
politicians and program administrators. The collection is divided into three
subseries. The first subseries is arranged chronologically, beginning in 1954
and ending in 2003. At the end of the chronological sequence, a subject
subseries has been created for correspondence between Borlaug and colleagues or
on subjects that extended over several years. Finally, a subseries of mail and
email correspondence, arranged by the geographic location of the respondent,
covers the period from 1999 to 2003. Correspondence from the mid-1950s through
the 1960s, personal and professional, is under-represented. Substantive
correspondence and correspondence with notable colleagues is identified more
fully in the box list. Approximately a quarter of the correspondence is in
Spanish.
After receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, Borlaug received
numerous invitations to speak or be interviewed. Correspondence regarding these
activities is filed chronologically in the Series Invitations Accepted and
Invitations Declined.
Borlaug’s publications are divided into three groups: articles
published between 1940 and 1985 are arranged according to a numbered
bibliography prepared by Catherina D.J. Kingman; miscellaneous publications;
and publications and related materials resulting from presentations. All
sections are organized chronologically. In some cases multiple drafts of
speeches are included.
The series Notebooks contains small handwritten notebooks covering
trips and notes on wheat and other agricultural production in Mexico, South
America, Africa, the Middle East, South and South East Asia and Eastern Europe,
covering a period from 1948 to 1998. These are complemented by Borlaug’s
appointment books, covering the years 1960 to 1999. Some notebook entries are
extensive, others minimal. Notebooks identified as being about a particular
country may also include information not related to that country. In such cases
the Box List will note additional country or subject coverage.
Borlaug, in addition to his work at CIMMYT and the Sasakawa Foundation
served on numerous commissions and councils and participated in numerous
conferences and symposia. Files regarding these activities are listed
alphabetically by organization, subject, or place. Education and Teaching
materials include notebooks and coursework from Borlaug’s undergraduate and
graduate courses at the University of Minnesota, and Borlaug’s lecture notes
from Agronomy 689, the undergraduate course he taught at Texas A&M.
Professional affiliations are separated into sections on CIMMYT,
Rockefeller Foundation, and Sasakawa Africa Foundation. Subject files include
Borlaug's voluminous clipping files on diverse topics, as well as files with
reports, correspondence, and manuscripts on various people and topics. Many of
the files include notations and comments.
Audio visual materials include photographs, VHS recording, and audio
tapes. Photographs cover six decades, from the late 1940s through 2000,
depicting Borlaug in the field and at meetings and conferences throughout the
world and across the course of his career. Awards cover recognition from
universities, governments, scientific and business commissions.
Reprints and publications that were not authored or annotated by
Norman Borlaug were removed from the collection.
