[quote=Article] A 1970 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Borlaug was a distinguished professor of international agriculture at the university.
Borlaug started at Texas A&M in 1984, after working as a scientist in a program that introduced scientific techniques for preventing famine in Mexico, according to the university.
Until recently, he traveled worldwide working for improvements in agricultural science and food policy, said Kathleen Phillips, a university spokeswoman.
Borlaug was known as a champion of high-yield crop varieties, and other science and agricultural innovations to help fight hunger in developing nations.[/quote]

Fuck dude, he died at a ripe age though.
Oh shit, can a mod change the title to add "...dies"
Well I guess he'll be part of the ecosystem now.

This is hardly new.
Apparently environmentalists don't quite like this man.
He messed with crops, yet saved lives, etc.
Nothing is ever good enough for the tree-huggers.
This will be overshadowed by Swayze's death.
Borlaug deserves some recognition too!
RIP!

That's because environmentalists are retarded and think selective breeding turns crops radioactive and mutagenic.

It's a conspiracy? :tinfoil:
