It was a pre-study seminar for the overseas field training in Ghana in coming September and also an open seminar for all those who are interested in it as well as FOLENS students. We had two lecturers, one was Professor Tsutomu Takane from Tokyo University of Agriculture and the other was Associate Professor Siaw Onwona-Agyeman from TUAT. The topic was “Traditional and modern Ghana: Agriculture, society and the environment”. Takane sensei put a focus on contrast between cacao and pineapple which are both major agricultural products in Ghana. Agyeman sensei spoke about people’s life, soil erosion and gold mining.
