Our Namesake, Dr. Norman Borlaug

Dr. Norman Borlaug was an agricultural scientist whose research with high-yield varieties of wheat in the 1960s in Mexico led to crop innovations that helped farmers around the globe feed more of the world’s population.

Dr. Borlaug came to Texas A&M University in 1984 as Distinguished Professor of International Agriculture, and founded the Office of International Agriculture Programs—renamed the Borlaug Institute in 2006—which continues to uphold his legacy of research, education, and service.
