| Course description |
| We aim to deepen participants' understanding on policies and project planning for sustainable agricultural and rural development, and how to disseminate technology, with reference to case studies in developing regions. Discuss the factors that influence development approach such as natural environment, available resources and population, and government and economy, and the outcomes and issues of development activities. Many of the participants are expected to have basic knowledge and experience on rural development, and to share and deepen their knowledge and insight through discussion and group projects. We also invite experts participating in our University's international contribution activities to give their special lectures. Finally, participants in groups will present their group projects on sustainable agricultural and rural development cooperation in class. Through this exercise, we will also examine the relations and differences between the development plan, and research plan taught in "International Environmental and Agricultural Science Communication Exercise". |
