Italian Research Day in Japan 2023: CREA's commitment to scientific-technological partnership
As part of the "Japan meets Italian Scientists" programme promoted by the Italian Embassy in Tokyo, the workshop "The role of participatory approaches to organic farming in local development. Compared visions from Italy to Japan”.
The initiative is organized by CREA Policies and Bioeconomy and by the Department of Economics of Natural Resources of the University of Kyoto and is financed by the Italian Embassy in collaboration with the National Rural Network, in the framework of the Italian Research Day in Japan 2023.
Italy and Japan, as well as many Countries in Global North, share a common history on rural areas, marked by depopulation and loss of value added.
Participatory and territorial development initiatives, based on organic farming and sustainable agriculture in general, have proved to be effective in counteracting detrimental tendencies in both Countries. Despite local differences in society, politics and economy have marked different trajectories, it is possible to learn lessons for mutual benefit.
In order to discuss them, the Research Centre for Agricultural Policies and Bioeconomy of the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA) and the Department of Natural Resources Economics of the University of Kyoto, in collaboration with the National Rural Network (NRN), have organized a conjoint workshop in hybrid modality with scholars and actors of selected initiatives in the two Countries.
The workshop will be held on September 11th 2023 from 09.30 to 12.00 (Italy) [(16.30 – 19.00 (Japan)] at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Kyoto, North Area of Yoshida Campus, Main building, room No. E217 (second floor, east wing) and ONLINE.
