Dr. Norman Borlaug remembers how the Mexican Agricultural Program developed the first high-yield, dwarf varieties of wheat that went on to help produce the Green Revolution. In this video podcast, he reviews how the program started with the help of Henry Wallace, the technical challenges the plant breeders faced, the public relations and political problems of introducing the new varieties, and the results. Mexico became self-sufficient in wheat production in only 12 years, and the Mexican wheat varieties were exported all over the world.
