 Hmm tough question. I would I have continued to be associated with aspects of the CGI are And I think probably two challenges And I won't say this for area. It's simply but I suspected applies to Erie as well as to other international institutes that I've Visited is that the CGI are has become terrally bleak bureaucratized I think the superstructure above the scientist level has only grown not at the stations so much Although that probably might have happened to some extent, but really off station in the superstructure that governs the CGI are I believe it is bum become extraordinarily cumbersome It's not infused with scientists who served on the ground as we did but by others who come in to administer the system from the standpoint of Accountability good rules of of operation business practices Governance is a big issue for us and that's only resulted in more and more meetings and more and more people and very often the people In those levels while good as they are Did not evolve from this did not come through the system from the scientists level and I believe that's One of the biggest challenges At the same time, I don't think the CGI are Has been able to develop a true constituency that goes to bat for it in The where where funds come from I can remember when I first In 1994 I joined Texas A&M University I went to a meeting that was comprised of us universities and see a CGI are Representatives I remember at that meeting I gave sort of an impassioned talk about how We as scientists need to understand where the money came from and how we need to create a Consciousness among this broader constituency of taxpayers in the US and Europe and Asia Who are paying for the system and I can remember one particular DG? Talking to me said Ed we don't worry about the taxpayers We don't worry about where the money comes from we worry only about how best to spend that money for good research The money comes if you do good research, but I think in recent years. We've learned that that that philosophy Does not persist that that we do now have to be worried about a constituency Now I think we're all we're full of challenges. I'm not sure the CGI are can meet all the challenges I'm not sure that universities can meet all the challenges. I feel still Very passionate about what I feel has to be accomplished in the future I believe that the world has become more fractured and I'm not talking simply about in politically I believe that That organizationally we become fractured and it's much harder to accomplish goals that as a community that we That used to be accomplished and to say it more simply I'm trying today to work with Powers it be on the role that agricultural technology plays in conflict We most everywhere that I work today in that international agriculture for a university Has either is either just emerging from a period of conflict and the poverty that persists in those countries is Related to conflict. I would say that would include El Salvador Guatemala Bangladesh many parts of the world for which conflict is as a recent experience our conflict hardest Horses are to say is imminent Or that conflict is un is currently underway or or we will soon be trying to reconstruct after conflict I don't believe we understand very well the role of agricultural technology in conflict when there's conflict we It's often relegated to the Political scientists the diplomats Anthropologists to look at religion and look at other facets of Ethnic group of ethnicity and look there for the sources of conflict and in the ways to resolve conflict I believe that agricultural technology is one of the more powerful tools that we have for preventing conflict for supporting families and communities to survive conflict and to rebuild communities and Economic systems following conflict. I believe but unfortunately, I don't think we understand well enough the different ways that agriculture agricultural technology can play those roles and Sometimes in fact bring about the conflict in the first place to exacerbate conflict So that's so that's one of the areas where I'd like to see more and more emphasis Invested for the future you
