2025 Norman Borlaug Lecture

As the world demands food and nutrition security, a new vision is emerging—SOILutions—paving the way for regenerative agriculture. In this transformative context, biological solutions—especially microorganisms—are increasingly replacing chemical inputs, unlocking proven economic, environmental, and social gains. A MicroGreen Revolution is reshaping agriculture, powerfully aligned with the holistic vision of One Health.

Borlaug Poster Competition

Prior to the 2025 Norman Borlaug Lecture, check out student posters on display as part of the Norman Borlaug Lecture Poster Competition for Graduate and Undergraduate Students. The poster display will take place on the ground floor of Curtiss Hall on Oct. 21 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Iowa State students will share about work or projects they’ve done related to the general area of world issues, including food, agriculture, climate, nutrition, economies, technology and more.

This lecture recording can be found on the Available Recordings page approximately two business days after the event and will remain accessible for three weeks.
