On February 26th, 2018, the International Development 101 class was presented with a documentary as part of the Technology, Information, and Development lecture to connect the concepts learned in class to a development issue. The documentary entitled “Freedom from Famine: The Norman Borlaug Story” focused on Norman Borlaug, an American farmer who is credited with saving over a billion people from starvation. Borlaug studied a B.Sc in forestry and Ph.D. in plant pathology from where he later accepted an agricultural research position in Mexico.
