Norman Borlaug Reading

To be perfectly honest while reading the Norman Borlaug article I was somewhat bored. Although I do believe this issue to be very important I do not find it very interesting to read about. Issues like “improving fertilizer-use efficiency by genetically engineering wheat and other crops to have high levels of Glu dehydrogenase” (Norman Borlaug), do not raise any kind of interest for me.
I think this quote from Norman Borlaug was the most interesting, “We cannot turn back the clock on agriculture and only use methods that were developed to feed a much smaller population.” It is very true that we have a huge issue with supply and demand. Therefore it makes it hard for the agriculture industry to change what they have been doing to meet this supply and demand and to possibly struggle with a new method. It is important to make health and food issues a priority and it is very important that we the people are informed of exactly what is going into our food and what we are consuming. I believe there is a tremendous uphill battle in store for the food industry in the coming years.
