The Clearinghouse provides information on how decision - makers can incorporate clean energy and resiliency strategies into their planning so we can meet the state's Clean Energy Standard and, at the same time,
better meet the challenges of climate change.»
I confess that I have become somewhat blasé about the range
of exciting — I think revolutionary is probably more accurate — technologies that we are rolling out today: our work in genomics and its translation into varieties that are reaching poor farmers today; our innovative integration
of long — term and multilocation trials with crop models and modern IT and communications technology to reach farmers in ways we never even imagined five years ago; our vision to create a C4 rice and see to it that Golden Rice reaches poor and hungry children; maintaining productivity gains in the face
of dynamic pests and pathogens; understanding the nature
of the rice grain and what makes for
good quality; our many efforts to
change the way rice is grown to
meet the
challenges of changing rural economies,
changing societies, and a
changing climate; and, our extraordinary array
of partnerships that has placed us at the forefront
of the CGIAR
change process through the Global Rice Science Partnership.
