It wasn't until 1959 that senior foundation officials succeeded in getting the Ford Foundation ( and later USAID, and later still, the World Bank ) to sign on to the major philanthropic project, known now to the world as the Green Revolution, originally conceived as CIMMYT The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center.

In 1964, he was made the director of the International Wheat Improvement Program at El Batán, Texcoco, on the eastern fringes of Mexico City, as part of the newly established Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research's International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center ( Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo, or CIMMYT ).

Several research institutions and buildings have been named in his honor, including: the Norman E. Borlaug Center for Farmer Training and Education, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in 1983 ; Borlaug Hall, on the St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota in 1985 ; Borlaug Building at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center ( CIMMYT ) headquarters in 1986 ; the Norman Borlaug Institute for Plant Science Research at De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom in 1997 ; and the Norman E. Borlaug Center for Southern Crop Improvement, at Texas A & M University in 1999.

In addition to taking up charitable and educational roles, he continued to be involved in plant research at CIMMYT with wheat, triticale, barley, maize, and high-altitude sorghum.

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center ( commonly called by its Spanish acronym CIMMYT for Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo ) is a non-profit research and training institution dedicated to both the development of improved varieties of wheat and maize, and introducing improved agricultural practices to farmers, thereby improving their livelihoods.

Areas of focus include public policy, efficient use of resources, monitoring of global maize and wheat trends, and the understanding of economic, political and institutional environments in which CIMMYT operates.

The Genetic Resources and Enhancement Unit ( GREU ) is support unit that holds the maize and wheat collections of CIMMYT in trust for humanity under UN-FAO agreements.

Despite bureaucratic hurdles imposed by India's grain monopolies, the Ford Foundation and Indian government collaborated to import wheat seed from CIMMYT.

The CIMMYT triticale improvement program wanted to improve food production and nutrition in developing countries.

CIMMYT and the International Rice Research Institute, established in 1960 with support from the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation, developed high-yielding, disease-resistant varieties that dramatically increased production of these staple cereals, and turned India, for example, from a country regularly facing starvation in the 1960s to a net exporter of cereals by the late 1970s.

CIMMYT ’ s Conservation Agriculture Program studies and supports sustainable cropping practices.

As international demand grew and it became apparent CIMMYT required internal organization and increased funding, the center was reorganized and established as a non-profit scientific and educational institution in its own right in 1966.

The core of CIMMYT is its two main programs: the Global Wheat Program and the Global Maize Program.

Starting in 1943, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Mexican government laid the seeds for the Green Revolution when they established the Office of Special Studies, which became the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center ( CIMMYT ) in 1963.

The CGIAR originally supported four centres: CIMMYT, IRRI, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture ( CIAT ) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture ( IITA ).

Since the induction of the CIMMYT triticale breeding programme in 1964, the improvement in realised grain yield has been remarkable.

Today, CIMMYT has released high yielding spring triticale lines ( e. g. Pollmer-2 ) which have surpassed the 10 t / ha yield barrier under optimum production conditions.

Earlier research conducted by CIMMYT made use of a chemical hybridising agent to evaluate heterosis in hexaploid triticale hybrids.

The Office of Special Studies in Mexico became an informal international research institution in 1959, and in 1963 it formally became CIMMYT, The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center.

Borlaug retired officially from the position in 1979, but remained a CIMMYT senior consultant.

The first steps toward the creation of CIMMYT were taken in 1943 when cooperative efforts of the Mexican government and the Rockefeller Foundation led to the founding of the Office of Special Studies, an organization within the Mexican Secretariat of Agriculture.

The program was renamed and morphed into CIMMYT in 1963, though it was still under the Secretariat of Agriculture ’ s jurisdiction.

CIMMYT became one of the first international research centers to be supported through the CGIAR.

CIMMYT partners with national agriculture research institutions across the globe.

The second involves something deeper, but its characteristic form focuses on a shift in policy for the community, not in the truth on which the community rests.

The third type, however, wrenches attention from the life of action and interests in the community and focuses it on the ground of being on which the community depends for its existence.

Altruism is a motivation to provide something of value to a party who must be anyone but oneself, while duty focuses on a moral obligation towards a specific individual ( e. g., a god, a king ), or collective ( e. g., a government ).

While ideas about altruism from one field can have an impact on the other fields, the different methods and focuses of these fields always lead to different perspectives on altruism.

Modern Kabbalah developed by Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, in his writings about the future generation, focuses on how society could achieve an altruistic social framework.

A common criticism has been that many social science scholars ( such as economists, sociologists, and psychologists ) in Western countries focus disproportionately on Western subjects, while anthropology focuses disproportionately on the " other "; this has changed over the last part of the twentieth century as anthropologists increasingly, also study Western subjects, particularly variation across class, region, or ethnicity within Western societies, and other social scientists increasingly take a global view of their fields.

Agricultural policy focuses on the goals and methods of agricultural production.
