[2] He was one of the early leaders of the global team of the green revolution for his role in development of high yielding wheat, rice and maize varieties.

His grandfather, a graduate of Campbell Medical College in Kolkata, was a General Medicine doctor in Gaibandha, East Bengal.

His father, Advocate Kazi Badiuzzaman LLB, a law graduate from University of Calcutta in Kolkata, class of 1921, was a well-known attorney of the Gaibandha Court until his retirement in 1957.

[4] After graduating high school in Gobindaganj, near Gaibandha, Kazi Badruddoza initially enrolled in University of Calcutta in Kolkata, West Bengal, British India in 1945.

Being the eldest of six siblings who were financially dependent on him, he declined the offer and returned home in 1957 to pursue a career in Agricultural Research in newly independent (East) Pakistan.

He worked closely with American Nobel Laureate and plant geneticist, Dr. Norman Borlaug, with objective of creating semi-dwarf but high yield and disease resistant Mexican wheat varieties in Pakistan.

[4] Following the 1971 India-Pakistan war and creation of independent Bangladesh, he was detained, in 1972, at an internment camp by the Pakistani government along with other high-ranking officials from former East Pakistan.

This fantastic accomplishment could not have been achieved without the vision and excellent organizational ability of the Director of Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute, Dr Kazi M. Badruddoza.

Badruddoza furthered the growth of disease and climate resistance maize crops in the country, coordinated by Bangladesh Agriculture Research Council (BARC).

[10] Due to Bangladesh's pre-occupation with cereal crop shortage, research on fruits and vegetables was neglected in the seventies and eighties.

This led to significant growth of multiple vegetable varieties and disease resistant potato strains in a post war nation, making steady progress from the country's starving picture on the world stage toward nutritional self-sufficiency.

[4] To facilitate horticultural hybridization, Badruddoza introduced germplasm of the Amrapali mango with the help of an Indian agronomist Dr Rajan Dey, making this variety a widely available and popular genetic variant.

[4] According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, United Nations, Bangladesh ranks third in the world in inland open fish farming and fifth in aquaculture.

[4] He personally supervised the infrastructure of BARI in Joydebpur, while simultaneously overseeing its regional stations and substations throughout the nation.

[4] Badruddoza proposed in a concept paper in 1988, the establishment of IPSA, now known as Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMARAU), as a post graduate research institute among a rural setting among local farmers.

For this objective, this post graduate institute was established in Salna, Gazipur, which went on to produce many of the country's lead Ph.D. researchers today.

It also assists NGOs to facilitate resources for farmers and participates in international agricultural research to benefit local crops.

The Team for Quinquennial Review of International Rice Research Institute, Laguna, Philippines included him as a board member in 1989.

He was also selected as member of the Governing Board of the Regional Co-ordination Center for Research and Development of Coarse Grain, Pulses, Roots and Tuber Crops in the Humid Tropics of Asia and the Pacific (1984).

[4] This research propelled the growth of high yield crops leading to Vietnam's thriving agriculture economy today.

Badruddoza died August 30, 2023, at the age of 96 in Dhaka, at a private hospital, surrounded by his two children, grandchildren, personal caregivers, secretarial staff and several prominent members of Bangladesh's agriculture research community.

"[15] Minister of Agriculture Dr Abdur Razzaque stated, 'Dr Badruddoza was the one who arranged for me to attend Purdue University for my Ph.D.

"[16] Following his wish to return to his roots, Badruddoza was laid to rest in family cemetery in his ancestral town of Gobindganj, where he had last lived as a high school student.
