Having successfully completed a training program in Thailand, fifteen first-and second-year undergraduate students who participated in an international exchange course, "A Changing Southeast Asia: Environment, Industry and Society," returned to Japan. The program was conducted under the guidance and leadership of Professor Eiji Nawata and Professor Mamoru Kanzaki from the Graduate School of Agriculture, along with the cooperation of Kasetsart University.
During the program, students visited agricultural and horticultural farms on steep slopes in the northern mountain areas, farm fields on mild slopes in the central plains, and suburban horticultural crop farms in the delta. They interviewed local farmers. Moreover, they studied the tropical forest ecosystems of Doi Inthanon Mountain in the northern part of Thailand and the Sakaerat region in the northeast, as well as coastal ecosystems in the coastal wetlands and utilization of these ecosystem services. In addition, they visited various cultural sites. In the training sessions held in central and eastern Thailand during the latter part of the program, many Thai students also participated and interacted with Japanese participants in various ways. On the final day, students made presentations on their experiences in Thailand. Through the training program, students gained valuable overseas experience.
