Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for being here today and sharing this information with us.
My first question is for Mr. Reilly-King. You are probably aware that coming out of the G-8 conference a little over a week ago at Camp David, President Obama launched the new alliance for food security and nutrition. As part of that initiative many multinational companies have been pledging their contributions. As such, I understand the pledges currently stand at about $3 billion.
Some of these companies have committed to more than handouts, and they're providing their expertise in various areas. For example, Vodafone intends to establish the connected farmer alliance in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Kenya, to increase the productivity, incomes, and resilience of over 500,000 smallholder farmers by strengthening the communications between the farmers and the agribusinesses they deal with—I guess to sell their produce—thereby decreasing their cost of doing business.
Can you comment on that initiative and how you feel about it?
