I started the day by meeting with Dan Miller at USAID. It was helpful to get a sense of the issues at hand in India regarding agriculture and development from the viewpoint of a US agency. I was given the US's new global hunger and food security initiative document, as well as Hillary Clinton's recent remarks on food security...did they know I was coming here!
Next I met with the group TERI. A research organization involved in all aspects of agriculture, renewable energy, development, as well as other issues. We had a great conversation about how developed nations can assist India in accomplishing their goals - technology, public/private partnerships, and financial help with global warming.
Later in the evening I had the opportunity to join Fellow Arbind Singh at his home for a great Indian meal with his family. It was wonderful to experience some real "home life" after being gone for a while. It was absolutely delicious.
