["PROCTOR FELICITY J" <<address removed>>]

Welcome message from George Rothschild.

Welcome to Theme 5 on "Science and Technology" in DFID's e-consultation on " New Directions 
for Agriculture in Reducing Poverty".  I have prepared a short introduction to this Theme with 
some ideas on issues for debate to start the process moving, but participants will no doubt have 
many others.  We look forward to frank and lively discussions on this important topic that will in 
turn help provide practical options for DFID to consider in developing its agriculture strategy.

The outcome of the discussions on the other five Themes will also be important, as they will 
provide the developmental context necessary to ensure the relevance of agricultural science and 
technology for poverty reduction.  Weekly updates will be provided as the e-consultation 
progresses.

Thank you in advance for participating in this theme and I look forward to moderating this debate.

George
