Time of Event
10:00–11:00 Japan Standard Time
Summary
This book proposes effective development strategies for agriculture and industry, which are drawn from a large number of case studies conducted by the author in collaboration with his colleagues in Asia and Africa for the last 40 years. In order to achieve the first two goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, i.e., no poverty and zero hunger, we need effective development strategies. Yet, the development strategies have seldom been discussed in development economics in recent years. This book offers new perspectives on this critically important issue.
In this event, the author will present the essence of the book, followed by discussions with prominent researchers in development economics.
The participants will include:
Tetsushi Sonobe: Dean, Asian Development Bank Institute
Thom Jayne: Professor, Michigan State University
Scott Rozelle: Professor, Stanford University
Dil Rahut: Vice-Chair of Research and Senior Research Fellow, Asian Development Bank Institute
Yasuyuki Sawada: Professor, University of Tokyo
