Torino, December 2010
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
as the end of the year is approaching, I would like to
update you on what has been achieved by ISPP in 2010.
Our journal,
Food
Security:
The Science,
Sociology and Economics of Food Production and Access to
Food in partnership with Springer is doing very well.
Special thanks go to the outstanding work of Richard Strange
and Peter Scott in helping the Society realise this
initiative.
Four books, derived from some of the invited lectures of
ICPP 2008, have been published in
2010, in
partnership with Springer.
During October, I visited, together with Secretary-general
Greg Johnson, ISPP Vice-President You-Liang Peng in Beijing.
We met with the Organizing Committee of ICPP 2013 and had
opportunities to discuss progress in the organization of the
next International Congress.
During the visit to Torino of Past-President Richard Falloon
in June and of Vice-President Wafa Khoury in September, we
had the chance to discuss some of the activities of our
Society.
From an administrative point of view, the transfer of the
ISPP bank account from Canada to the United States, where
the ISPP Treasurer, Thomas Evans, is located, is finally
completed. We
continue encouraging more member Societies to pay their due
annual fees.
Chuji Hiruki, our Past Treasurer, is still helping us in
these tasks.
Our Business Manager, Peter Williamson is continually
improving the ISPP web-site, providing more opportunities
for interactions with members.
Credit card and PayPal can now be used for paying associated
society and individual member subscriptions.
ISPP Newsletters continue to be prepared thanks to
the help of Brian Deverall.
Looking at
2011, in
addition to forward planning for ICPP2013, a meeting of the
Executive Committee will take place in April in Darwin
(Australia), in the occasion of the ACPP APPS Congress.
Always in 2011, thematic meetings will be organized by some
of our Subject Matter Committees.
While inviting you all to send comments and suggestions,
together with ICPP Executive Committee, and the ISPP
Secretariat, I wish you and your Families a Happy, Healthy
and Fruitful New
Year.
Warm Wishes
Lodovica Gullino.
