Hello, Adrian Dubock again.

Good to hear from Dr Rajeev Varshney (Message 53) about ICRISAT’s plans, which seem to go some way towards what participants in this conference are asking for. One aspect which seems to be missing is “animal ‘omics”.

Another point: In my experience, competition keeps institutions on their toes, with benefits for speed and focus of progress. For benefit to humanity ‘cooperative-competition’ is to be encouraged too.  So Professor Denis Murphy’s idea should also be promoted.  

It seems that the demand for assistance in this field in enormous, and surely the potential benefits are huge, but sustained funding and commitment will be required.
