 My name is Delia Grace and I'm a veterinary epidemiologist and I first came to Illry in 2002 when I was being interviewed for a doctorate in an Illry project in West Africa. So I came for the interview. I was interviewed by John McDermott and Tom Randolph and I'm happy to say that I was successful and that I was awarded the position which was to go and study trapanoside resistance in West Africa. So it was just over three years on that project and I was working on trapanoside resistance but with the emphasis on the farm level what farmers were doing and how this was contributing to the problem and what we could do to help farmers make other choices and change their behaviour so that they were still able to treat their animals but they were getting less trapanoside resistance. After that I then came to Illry as a joint appointment with Cornell University working on food safety. Illry had done some work on food safety, in fact from a veterinary public health perspective was the first work Illry did on food safety, looking at milk, meat, the classical genosis and then they had done some really interesting work which was around why food safety as a constraint to market access. So as a veterinarian we tend to think of food safety as a problem which we want to solve and the people in Illry were more coming from the perspective of that worrying about food safety was a problem that they wanted to solve because it was blocking small holder access to markets. So that was kind of interesting and a kind of a different way of thinking about a problem and I think then when I came the emphasis was more food safety as a constraint so this was the start of a new problem, a new program looking at food safety as a constraint to human health and development in the broadest sense so not only blocking people from getting to markets but also sickening and killing them and that was an interesting work. So the last five years then were very interesting because we saw this dedicated group which was looking at for the first time at human health and nutrition and the intersection with livestock, we saw that group being closed down because it was decided that this was not relevant to the CGIR. And then we saw a new group like a phoenix coming from the ashes which was completely focused on human health and nutrition and this was not just Illry but the other centres coming together under this process of change that the CGIR has been going through that the centres come together to work on fewer bigger problems and have more impact. So one of these programs is on agriculture for human health and nutrition which has got about probably about half or over half of the program deals on nutrition and that's being mainly led by IFPRI and then about a quarter of the program deals with diseases, the diseases like food safety and zoonosis and other problems which are associated with agriculture and that's now being led by Illry. This is a demand driven program in as much as there is growing consensus that the problems, the health associated problems of agriculture cannot be solved by human health alone. So but in the past the approaches to these problems have been very top down, very monosectoral and while there is a space has now opened to bring in agricultural research to bear on problems of human health, it's not really clear what is the comparative advantage, what we should be doing, what we can do best, which other people can't do and yes and how, what and how we need to work. So the moment there's been a lot of workers around strategizing and planning and thinking and finding partnerships and seeing where we, in this kind of fairly crowded arena where CTR centres can be best placed and be most effective. We've already identified some key issues and key problems which one of them being Rift Valley fever and emerging diseases, another being the whole area of food safety and informal markets, these markets where poor people buy and sell most of their food and where safety is not very high but regulation and legislation has absolutely failed to have any impact on food safety so we see that as a key area. But cross cutting is this whole area of generating evidence because at the moment although we know there are lots and lots of problems out there we don't know which are the big ones, which are the small ones, which ones are there in certain circumstances and not in others and what can be done about them. So coming up with that kind of evidence and those sorts of new tools, new metrics which enable us to measure and to understand will be a key part of this new program.
