The Borlaug Training Foundation

The Borlaug Training Foundation (www.borlaugtrainingfoundation.org) is a non-profit foundation established to provide agricultural-based education and mentoring to scientists from developing nations. It will continue the applied training legacy of Norman Borlaug, 1970 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, by engaging in collaborative activities with educational, industrial, and agricultural partners to generate, disseminate, integrate, and apply knowledge to increase agricultural production. At the heart of the Borlaug Training Foundation is a team of world–renowned scientists who have committed their time to travel the world to teach and mentor people. The Borlaug Training Foundation will foster Borlaug’s philosophy to further enable important professional connections based on teamwork, sound science, applied field research, the development of gender equality, and to help farmers worldwide.
