Evening Session

19:00 – 21:00 (venue: Room F319)

Coordinator: Prof. Funamizu

The purpose of this informal session is to discuss future perspectives on research work on resources
for food production and food security. We have prepared the following questions:- What are the issues on future food security globally and locally?
- Why are you studying current topics?
- How can we establish the new discipline on Global Food Resources?
This informal session is a kind of talk show with 10 minutes talks and fruitful discussion are expected.
Refreshments and light meals are available in this evening session.
