Yuan Longping, whose hybrid rice helped feed the world, dies at 90 Harrison Smith © Chinatopix/AP Rice researcher Yuan Longping, at center in 2017, in a field of hybrid rice in northern China. Yuan Longping, a Chinese scientist who developed strains of hybrid high-yield rice that helped alleviate famine and poverty around the world, enabling farmers to feed a growing planet with fewer resources, died May 22 at a hospital in Changsha, China. He was 90. The cause was multiple organ failure, according to the state-run People’s Daily newspaper. Mr. Yuan had been hospitalized in March after falling at a rice-breeding center in southern China, and reportedly continued to track the weather and monitor crops from his bed.
