NO ONE THEY KNOW WAS SAVED BY THE GREEN REVOLUTION:

In Des Moines speech, Gates urges renewal of Green Revolution (PHILIP BRASHER, October 15, 2009, Des Moines Register)

The World Food Prize was the brainchild of the late Norman Borlaug, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in boosting grain yields and bringing about the Green Revolution.

Environmentalists have frequently attacked that achievement, however, because of the pollution caused by the fertilizers and pesticides that were used with the high-yielding grain.

It kept alive people they wish weren't.
