Norman Borlaug

The Norman E. Borlaug article “Ending World Hunger” was pretty interesting. The main part that it talked about was the issue of biotechnology. The idea of creating hybrid foods such as corn can be a great way to grow food. It can greatly change agriculture. One of the coolest additions to this that caught my attention was the part where it mentioned the reduction of the need for pesticides. But this wasn’t the only useful thing that I learned about biotechnology. This could very well solve the problem of world hunger. The fact that genetically modified crops could be used to help those countries struggling with starvation is just an incredible vision to think about. What if it could actually work? Isn’t that worth modifying food for? Third world countries would be very gracious to receive food even if it was modified. I think that this is ground breaking new technology that should be used to help make the world a better place.
