| Description |
When he decided on his life’s work as a plant breeder, K. B. Saxena made an unlikely choice. The year was 1974, and new varieties of rice and wheat were boosting production and cutting hunger around the world. With a newly minted Ph.D. from one of India’s top agricultural universities, Saxena could have worked on any of these blockbuster crops. Instead, he picked a gangly, unrefined plant called pigeon pea. |
