 Well, one thing we start increasingly think about is what rice farming is going to look like, you know, not just five years from now, but 10, 15, 20 years from now. You think about, you know, young people moving to the cities, not really wanting to become rice farmers, aging farmers that are currently out there, they're less labor, maybe even less water, anything, you know, that currently is part of the traditional way of growing rice, which is, you know, wet land preparation and the bottled soil and manual transplanting and harvest. Look ahead, 20 years from now, probably in many places in Asia, will be difficult to continue that way of growing rice. So what are we going to do about that? That's the question that we're asking in our research, increasing the amount of crop management point of view, but even for the breeding point of view, because anything can be changed in the current traditional system of rice farming needs to have integrated solutions. Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. There's no question that the drudgery of transplanting every single rice plant that a farmer harvests is just not going to be the way people want to make their living in the very near future. I think that the manually transplanted rice crop is very rapidly going to be a thing of the past. And I think there's no question that institutions like ours are going to have to be the ones who can make sure that this system of puddling the soil, transplanting the rice, which has been unbelievably sustainable, can withstand that transition to a direct seeded crop using much less labor and still retain its sustainability. And I think there's some fundamental research problems within that kind of challenge. Yeah, it's not easy to grow rice that way. I mean, what we see here right now in one of us is what we call a dried, direct seeded rice. So there's a machine drilled into the dry soil, like you would drill seed a wheat crop or something like that. And then of course, it's much more problematic in the sense that managing wheat or paddling wheat is hard easy because you don't have early on a standing water layer. You need to take more care of your nutrient management. You may need varieties which are better adapted to that kind of dry seeding emerge quickly and have a lot of early vigor. So a lot of things, but I think we've made good progress also in big new regional initiatives like the Cigar Systems Initiative for South Asia where this partner on the ground, particularly in 2011, we've had hundreds and hundreds of demonstrations of dried seeded rice and associated technologies with reduced tillage even known to situations that increasingly look actually promising. We're making progress, we're getting good yields, still a few things to improve, but I think it's really showing what's possible there. You hit on something I think that's critical to these kinds of transformations. You mentioned the serial systems initiative for South Asia as a major initiative. Another major initiative of course is the Global Rice Science Partnership for the GRISC and in that partnership we bring in Latin America and in Latin America they have successfully developed an entire rice industry on a direct seeded approach, highly mechanized large expanses of area, very low labor, very high input in terms of energy and mechanization and so I think through the GRISC we have an opportunity to learn some of the underlying processes that make the Latin American systems work recognizing that the land tenure, population density, water situation of Asia for example is very different so what can we learn from a direct seeded experiments in Latin America, bring to Asia and adapt and then of course sub-Saharan Africa which has low population densities, lots of land but much lower level of technification and infrastructure can learn probably from both Latin America and Asia. No, no, absolutely, that has been fantastic in 2011. We had GRISC now as the first real new CJR research program starting in January 2011 and we had a whole range of new initiatives that brought people together from different parts of the world who work on various aspects of rice research but also development and so we had many of these kind of interactions already and you can really see already this kind of learning in fact and it can go either way there are many things that Asia may learn from South America or vice versa, Africa from Asia or vice versa so I think it's going to be a multi-directional flow of information and that's really the big potential. We can learn so much and there's so much to do for everyone in this partnership we actually hope that some countries actually step forward and take on leadership for the things because we can do everything with GRISC. One institution, it has a global mandate, it can do many things but it cannot do all things, we certainly need more substantial partnership for all the countries that can play a role and step forward to take the leadership. No, I think that's one of the messages that we need to take to heart and need to make sure that that everyone both within GRISC, within the CGIR, within the broader agricultural research community understand that there's no shortage of problems. There's more than enough problems to go around that being inclusive and bringing in the appropriate partners to work on the appropriate problems and matching skill sets and matching experience is what it's going to take to solve complex problems. Arguing over turf and who should be in charge of which program is a waste of time, a waste of effort and I think that the work of GRISC and how GRISC has come together so smoothly is just an outstanding example of how with creativity and goodwill tremendous resources can be brought to bear on very strategic problems that will have major impact on the well-being and welfare of coming generations. It's all about people. You need good people, dedicated people, you need to find ways for them to effectively work without being just too distracted from what I would like to call non-protective demands on their time not really ever the diplomat
