At the 2007 Centennial Agronomy Meetings, Norman Borlaug, the father of the Green Revolution 1.0, was videotaped as he reminisced about his college years and early career, his strategies for transforming international crop breeding and production, and his insights into current food production needs.  This interview also features Ron Phillips, the 2006/7 recipient of the Wolf Prize for Agriculture, who brings out Dr. Borlaug’s warmth and wisdom as he prompts  his mentor and friend to tell his own stories behind his revolutionary work.  This videotape is a first-hand account of one of the most important men of the 20th century.
