Mr Chairman, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with sadness that agriculture pioneer and Nobel Prize recipient Norman Borlaug, also known as the father of the Green Revolution, has passed away;
2) further notes that the Green Revolution helped food production more than double between 1960 and 1990, thereby averting a worldwide famine, saving hundreds of millions of lives in Asia, Africa, and Latin America;
3) acknowledges that despite this massive contribution millions of people, including a large number of people within our own country, are still faced with hunger on a daily basis;
4) calls for a Green Revolution within South Africa to turn this unnecessary situation around; and
5) conveys its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Professor Borlaug during this difficult time.
Agreed to.
Debate concluded.
