 I'm proud to present to you IRI's strategic plan for the next decade. As IRI's employees and our partners continue to work relentlessly to improve the quality of life for those who depend on the rice sector, from the poorest of the poor to those moving up the development ladder. The document you're about to read will provide you with the broad principles that we will apply in guiding our work and our development as an organisation in order to best contribute to solutions to the global challenges faced by humanity and the planet. While the challenge of solving these issues is significant, IRI has an extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in a world that increasingly needs the research for development solutions we can provide. IRI has a daunting task of solving complex problems in the face of continued population growth, rapid urbanisation and climate change. Too many suffer from micronutrient deficiency. Too many women are excluded from decision making while bearing the brunt of non-mechanised rice farming. Too many farmers are over the age of 60. We need to make agriculture an enticing life choice for a new generation of farmers. The strategic plan outlines these problems and how we'll tackle them. Our plan is built on IRI's strong foundation as a trusted adviser for the global rice industry, a reputation as an innovation leader based on our strong research work, our global reach and the strong partnerships with NARS, governments and global organisations that share our concerns. Our strategy is based on three key goals, innovate, catalyze and transform. To find out more, have a good read of the plan and join us in the conversation to build the future. Now more than ever, the world needs a strong IRI. Come and join us.
