Norman Borlaug, the unassuming Protestant agriculture researcher who saw it as his mission to feed the world. And even Slate called him the man who fed a billion people, because his dwarf grain varieties tripled food yield.
But no one will mention his faith as the reason he spent a lifetime trying to ensure we could feed everyone, much less proving environmentalist doom and gloom wrong.

You're absolutely right about that. Borlaug was an agricultural genius, increased crop yields by big multiples, and was motivated in his lifetime of amazingly productive work precisely by his Christian faith.

It takes an atheist/communist like Stalin to crush a breadbasket (like Ukraine) into genocidal famine. It take a free Christian like Borlaug to open the door for plenty worldwide.
