I would like to thank GFAR for the opportunity to attend its 2nd Triennial conference in Dakar in the
beautiful country of Senegal. On behalf of the entire Canadian delegation, it is a pleasure for us to be
here and to participate in the Conference discussions addressing the links of research and rural
innovation to sustainable development.
C¿est avec beaucoup de fierté que le Sénégal accueille aujourd¿hui, pour la première fois en terre
d¿Afrique, la deuxième Conférence du Forum Mondial de la recherche agricole, le GFAR. Nous
recevons avec satisfaction quelques 350 participants venant de plus de 50 pays ; il s¿agit donc bien
d¿un Forum de dimension mondiale.
