The Norman Borlaug Historic Preservation Program

The preservation of Dr. Norman Borlaug’s legacy is an important part of the Foundation's mission. Preservation may include any physical or philosophical aspect of his life and times, which the Foundation deems to be a treasure for others to learn from and appreciate. Whatever preservation the foundation may become involved in centers around educating students and the public about the values and accomplishments of Dr. Borlaug. For more information on foundation activities and preservation plans contact us.
