根据以下信息用英语写一篇短文介绍袁隆平教授。
1.袁隆平，1930年出生于北京。自幼刻苦学习，为了应对粮食危机，他选择学习农业。也许再没有哪位科学家比袁隆平对中国农业科学的影响更大了。他的杂交水稻不仅养活了中国，也造福了全世界。
2. 他把他的一生都奉献给了农业，自从1953 年从重庆西南农学院(Southwest Agricultural College)大学毕业以后,他一直在为世界农业耕耘。他认为自己是个农民，因为他不断地在田间工作，进行科学研究。
3. 通过不懈的努力，袁隆平克服了巨大的技术难题，于1974年研制出了第一批可用于农业生产的杂交水稻。由于他的研究,我国水稻产量快速增长, 解决了粮食不足的问题。袁隆平的创新不仅养活了中国，也养活了其他许多国家。
4. 总之，袁隆平是最值得尊敬的科学家之一，他被誉为“杂交水稻之父” （the Father of Hybrid Rice）, 他的事迹一直激励着我们前进。
