| Abstract |
On behalf of CIMMYT, welcome to Mexico and El Batan. And, on behalf of the Maize staff, in particular, we would like to express our appreciation for your attendance here at the Symposium on ''WorldWide Maize Improvement in the 19701 s and the Role for CIMMYT." Our topic could scarcely be more current or relevant; during recent days we have all read, seen, or heard about--or witnessed first hand- -some of the world's food production and distribution problems. The United Nations, Government leaders--all of us--are reacting to the sharply increased demands of scarcity. Hopefully, during this week, we can work jointly in alleviating some of these problems as they relate to maize production. Our aim here is to achieve· systematic assessment, which is heavily dependent upon your responses. |
