KURA jointly organizes the 6th Science and Technology Lecture “Food and Agriculture for a Sustainable Society: Production of Sustainable Protein Sources” with Yamaoka Memorial Foundation

Purpose of the Lecture Meeting

This Science and Technology Lecture focused on “Renewable Energy” , a theme closely related to prevention of global warming, one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in September 2015. Under the theme, we invited lecturers from Japan and Germany three times.

Since 2021, lectures have been given three times in series on “Food” and “Agriculture” , which are also important issues as SDGs. The theme of this year as the 3rd time will be “Production of Sustainable Protein Sources”. After keynote speeches held by experts from Japan and Germany, we expect active exchange of opinions will be made on a global theme of sustainable food and agriculture through panel discussions and exchange meetings mainly among young people who will lead the next generation.
