The full text can be found on our Web site at www.igc.org/millennium/news You can also subscribe to an e-mail edition (instructions below). I hope you'll be interested to read it. Highlights in this newsletter include a description of the Millennium Gifts Project, which we launched in December with a few of our key partners. We welcome and invite others to join with us in this Project. Imagine, as our Trustee Daniel Gomez-Ibanez says, using the turn of the Millennium to foster a "culture of giving, instead of a culture of taking" on planet Earth. That's in part what is possible through the Millennium Gifts Project. See the expanded Millennium Gifts section of our Web site for more information and examples of gifts already given: http://www.igc.apc.org/millennium/gifts/ This newsletter also reports on the two-day working meeting, culminating nearly a year of preparation, of the Strategy and Action Project for Chinese and Global Food Security. The purpose of this Project is to identify what needs to be done to narrow the range of projections of how much grain China may need to import in the coming years: Some say only a modest amount; others say enough to disturb the world food market. Don't forget to visit the Year 2000 and Millennium Events section of our Web site. It's chock-full of descriptions and links to plans being made around the world in anticipation of the new millennium. At last count nearly 40 countries have one or more points of contact for plans.
