  • Henry Monroe "Hank" Beachell (September 21, 1906 – December 13, 2006) was an American plant breeder. His research led to the development of hybrid rice cultivars that saved millions of people around the world from starvation. Born in Waverly, Nebraska, Beachell and his family moved to a corn and wheat farm in western Nebraska. In 1930 he earned a bachelor's degegree in agronomy from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where he was a member of the FarmHouse fraternity. After obtaining a Master's degree at Kansas State University, Beachell worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Texas. There, he created nine rice varieties, which eventually accounted for more than 90 percent of the U.S. long-grain rice production. He went to International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in 1963 after his retirement from the DOA. He created a high-yielding rice variety IR8 in 1964, based on the previous work by Peter Jennings (no relations to the US journalists). IR8 was officially released by IRRI in 1966. It dramatically increased the yields of Asian rice from 1 or 2 ton per hectare to 4 or 5 tons per hectare. It played a significant part in the Green Revolution. Beachell has been called the most important person in rice improvement in the world. As farmers planted higher yielding rice, nutrition improved in many Asian countries, and farmers increased their incomes. Beachell was awarded a honorary doctorate from the University of Nebraska in 1972. Beachell has received many international awards, including the 1987 Japan Prize and 1996 World Food Prize. As a centenarian, Beachell consulted with RiceTec, the only commercial hybrid rice-breeding program in the U.S, up until his death. (en)
  • Henry Beachell (Waverly, 21 settembre 1906 – Alvin, 13 dicembre 2006) è stato un agronomo e biologo statunitense. La sua ricerca ha portato allo sviluppo di culture di riso ibride che hanno salvato dalla fame milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. Nato a Waverly, Nebraska, Beachell e la sua famiglia si trasferirono in fattoria per la coltivazione di grano e mais nel Nebraska occidentale. Nel 1930 si è laureato in agronomia all'Università del Nebraska, dove era membro della confraternita FarmHouse. Dopo aver studiato alla Kansas State University, Beachell lavorò per il Dipartimento dell'Agricoltura degli Stati Uniti in Texas . Lì creò nove varietà di riso, che alla fine rappresentarono oltre il 90 percento della produzione di riso a chicchi lunghi di tutti gli Stati Uniti. Beachell è stata definita la persona più importante per il miglioramento del riso nel mondo. Man mano che gli agricoltori piantavano riso a più alto rendimento, la nutrizione migliorava in molti paesi asiatici e gli agricoltori aumentavano i loro redditi. Beachell ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti internazionali, tra cui il Premio del Giappone del 1987 e il nel 1996. Pur se ormai centenario, Beachell è stato consulente di , l'unico programma commerciale di ibridazione del riso negli Stati Uniti, fino alla sua morte. (it)
