 Congratulations, to lead us on to the discussion. OK, thanks very much, Dennis. Since you started off by saying you hadn't been to Des Moines before, I'm happy to say, well, maybe I'll stand up. I can't hear you very well. I'm happy to say that I have actually lived in Iowa for another years from kind of formative years, from ages three through 11 in hostage, which is in the northern part of the state, just down the road from Cresco, where Norman Borlaugh was from. And I had seen him speak earlier in a couple of places, but I've never really met him and talked to him until we met up in Mozambique at the start of Susakau Global 2000 activities. And we were talking about how SG2000 would fit in and what the challenges in Mozambique were, and so on. And I mentioned to him that I had lived in Osage at Cresco, and I thought we'd get right back into discussion on fertilizer, but he said, oh, Osage, great wrestling team. We had so much trouble, and he went through his wrestling season of Osage vs. Cresco, which, you know, Iowa does leave its mark as quite a competitor. But in any case, I'm delighted to be here and comment on some of this. I don't want to take up too much time, because I know we'll have a lot of good questions and interaction, but there are just a couple of things that I would like to highlight. Certainly, all of this looks like wonderful news, I'll have to say, and it fits in very well with what FAO Skogis has become and has been for a long time on sustainable intensification of production as a way of summing up what we are trying to do. And I had heard a lot about the Zambia story for a long time from our FAO colleagues as the paragon of conservation agriculture and what else should we send a lot of people from Kenya there to look at it, and other things. And I've got, for the question section, and only one question on that about cover crops. I didn't see much discussion of cover crops, but that seemed to be one of the key strengths. But, and I think all of the presentations really highlighted extremely well this idea of evergreen agriculture and the challenges that are out there. I've been back in the US for a couple of years, and it often seems like I'm back to do kind of missionary work on some of these issues. And living in Washington in particular, I think there is a real strong tendency to not look at the complexity of issues, but rather to kind of limit everything to kind of the most simplistic terms possible. And we are, for those of you who don't live here, is not a very good situation, actually. And I think it's somewhat worse than before. And everything that the presenters talked about are really complex systems, as Carol has pointed out throughout. I mean, there's mixed systems, and Dennis too, and of course, Fullerton, and how you present this. It is all really complex, not just in terms of production systems, but in terms of the science, and so on, but is, in fact, really quite optimistic in what can be done. And we find, I think, in the US, and in Washington, I suppose, in particular, really this polarization around really simple messages of kind of GMOs on one hand, or organic on the other, or livestock is either bad or good, and kind of a pessimism versus optimism, and so on. And it sounds like a caricature, but it is, in fact, really detrimental. And I think one of the really important aspects of World Food Prize events is, in fact, this discussion of the complexity around these issues, and kind of the reality of what you can do, and in looking at the numbers, and looking at what can be done. And this really was a wealth, I think, in these three presentations of experience on what that looks like, and what needs to be done, and so on. And I think somehow this needs to inform more the discussion, particularly in the US. I'm not so sure about Europe, and some of you would know that situation better, but here really, I think we do need much more sophistication around the discussion of what can be done, what needs to be done, and what actually is happening in rapidly, in this rapidly changing environment, where the challenges are undoubtedly severe and daunting. But there's no doubt about that, undoubtedly severe and daunting. But there's no reason we can't meet those, and these are wonderful examples of how we would do that. And I think I will stop there, and I've got a couple of specific questions, but I'll save those, I think we're gonna get into the discussion of that. Thank you, Dan, and to formally introduce Dr. Mahbub Hussein, who is now the President and CEO of the largest, I believe, of NGO in the developing world with about 160,000 staff working with the BRAC, Bangladesh Rural Assistance Committee. So Mahbub, please. Thank you, Dennis, for giving me the opportunity to say a few words on this reinventing agriculture in the country's century. Dennis was my former colleague at ATIRI, I suppose, that's why he gave me this opportunity of talking, but I'm also coming from the civil society background. As Dennis has mentioned, at a work for BRAC, Bangladesh Rural Assistance Committee, we're not only working in Bangladesh, now we're operating in nine countries outside Bangladesh, like in Africa, three in Asia, Afghanistan, Singapore, Afghanistan. Recently we have opened our office in Haiti. We operate in post-conflict countries, because this organization started as a relief organization in Bangladesh in 1982. The premise that was set in this meeting is that we need to, again, double food production in the 21st century. I think the projections were much less earlier, but recent demographic projections which show that because of the advances made in control in HIV-AIDS, the African population is going to grow much faster than it was projected earlier, and obviously it means much more pressure on increase in food production in this century. So the talk is, we have to do something unusual. I just attended, if we start a different reception sort of dinner, and the African disease was talking about, I think they have been talking about this for the last time, that we can't think of business as usual. We have to think of business as unusual in order to address this challenge. And as we look at the past, the focus for food production was mostly commodity-based, agriculture-based, as you know, the senior institutions so long they weren't agriculture-based. We have been trying to progress in developing technologies, but more for favorable systems. We are now talking about more difficult challenges for developing technology for unfavorable systems. If we have to address the issues of Africa, South Asia, and others, because we have almost reached the potential of the technologies that has been developed for the global systems. So in this context, I think the presentations that we have seen here, the three I'm talking about, using trees for replacing nitrogen, because not only of the issue of anthrax environmental effects of nitrogen issue one, I think the economic combustion also with the faster economic growth in some of the developing countries, like India and China, you have the demand for clear list is very low, and the prices are associated with low prices. So the fertilizer would not be available for production in the future. So in that sense, looking at forestry, this tree, which is what felt earlier, are the trees, the demonstration that has been given, which has grown in Africa. We get innovation for replacing nitrogen fertilizer for increased production. We have had the presentation from Jambia focusing on conservation in Georgia, using geotealage for increasing food production. This is resource-conserving technologies that we have been talking about. We have increasingly have to prove for that. And then, obviously, the demand for livestock product has been growing very fast. This is nothing new. We have been talking about that. And as a result of the fasting case in livestock products, obviously, the demand for maize as livestock tree has been growing, so there will be much more pressure on maize production than on cereal production in the future. I would, in that context, I would also like to mention one particular sort of, two particular points, which has not come through here is, one is that, you know, India and China is now growing by almost double digit rate, 8% to 10%. And we see that growth has now been trickled around to even the poor and the income of the poor households in those countries have been growing. And India and China now account for one-third of the global population. So the increasing income of the, not at the level of the high source. The demand for housing, actually, you see large housing boom happening in these countries. And the demand for timber has been growing very fast. We haven't seen any projection, we have seen the projection of different food, but not of the timber. My sense is that it has been growing very fast. And unless we focus on homescape, I don't think social forestry, agroforestry and others, there will be much more pressure on the forestry in those countries. So this, that is an additional need for focusing on one act of forestry. Possibility of growing more trees in the home state and handling the agricultural fields without having negative effect on the agriculture. So in that sense, the innovation that you have to mention is not innovation. I suppose that trees is already growing in the agricultural country. So that becomes very, very important. The second point I would like to mention is the focus on small farmers, small and marginal farmers in those countries. And if you look at the resources, actually quite a substantial part of the land resources for these farmers are in the home state. So you have to go for more intensification of the home state in order to address the challenge for this century. And in that sense, both forestry and subsistence livestock production is in the home state. Resources would be an important area to look at. So if you would like to address those systems, obviously we have to come out of so far the commodity-based agriculture research extension and development that we have pursued in the last century. And we have to focus now more on system-based, agroecosystem-focused integrated or mixed farming system in order to address these challenges. And I think this presentation specifically focused on that sort of business-unusual kind of method that can be done in this century. Always, I have one question for you on the trees. I know that this is a good model for Africa because these trees, well, in the dry season when there's not much crop in the field, but in the wet season, they remain dormant, they shed their leaves and produce fertilizer for the crop, you think of what would be the situation in the Asian context, particularly in the South Asia context. Our crops have grown both in dry and wet season. And it's very intensive production. Would the trees be adaptable in the South Asia context? With giving that question to you, I thank you very much for giving me the opportunity. Thank you.
