The man who helped feed the world

This entry in the 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy series looks at the almost inestimable benefits of the work of Nobel Prize winner, Norman Borlaug, in developing disease-resistant wheat and thus saving millions from starvation. It's a fascinating piece of economic history.
Few have heard the name Norman Borlaug, but his work saved the lives of one billion people and truly changed the fate of humanity, for the better. #HeroesofProgress https://t.co/QA7Ibg2BLc
