It has been five years since I took lecture by Prof. Yoshiaki Nishikawa last time in 2009. Time flies, but his lecture is as interesting as usual…
Today, as one part of DFW2014 Preparatory lectures, Prof. Yoshiaki Nishikawa, from Ryukoku University, gave us an interesting lecture which introduced alternative approaches to rural / community development and endogenous development perspective in Japan.
A couple of quesitons raised by Prof. Nishikawa led us to reconsider the real meaning of development for ourselves, our daily life, our rural communities…how can different actors be involved in a sustainable agriculture or rural development??? Let’s explore the answers through DFW2014.
