Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Kagawa Forum 2022

Japan has been dependent on overseas imports for timber since its high economic growth period, and Japan is now the world's fourth largest importer of timber. On the other hand, in the Philippines, a former lumber supplier, forests that covered approximately 50% of the country around 1900 were reduced to only 181 TP3T in 1999, and how to regenerate the lost forests is now a challenge.
In this lecture, we will invite Mr. Jay of Galansiyang, a drone afforestation startup that was set up to solve forest issues in the Philippines, to discuss what kind of technology we can stand on and how we can collaborate in reforestation to realize a sustainable world. We will think about this here in Kagawa, where rainfall is low and we know more about the importance of forests as a source of water than anywhere else.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, startups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. For more information, please refer to the conference website.
*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.
