Iowa's AEAs Help Bring Awareness of Borlaug Legacy

Dr. Norman Borlaug arguably did more to alleviate world hunger than anyone in history. To help celebrate his legacy, Iowa’s leaders have proclaimed October 16 as Dr. Norman Borlaug – World Food Prize Day. The World Food Prize Foundation has organized a series of events throughout the state for a week-long celebration and has coordinated with the AEAs to distribute a poster to promote awareness of Dr. Borlaug and global food security issues. A poster, accompanied by a letter from Gov. Branstad, will be delivered to each school via van delivery in the next two weeks.
