http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8253005.stm Story here and elsewhere about Norman Borlaug who was central to the so-called "Green Revolution" in the 1960s. It was about breeding high-yield crops (by natural cross-breeding, not genetic modification) to stave off famines caused by population explosion. I'm not really interested in celebrities like this in themselves, but I would like to know whether Indymedia readers think the Green Revolution was a good or a bad thing, in general.
