Mr. Tsuboi of Main award gave a lecture at Niigata University, a total of about 200 students have attended.

Mr. Tsuboi said in reference to his own experience the technological development of rice cultivation and spread in Africa, has been lecture while showing a lot of examples. By efforts to take root NERICA to the actual land of Africa, it up in countries that had been imported 99 percent rice such as Uganda and Gabon, etc. that the self-sufficiency of the way is opened, was a contribution for Africa's food problems boundlessly. For students who attended a lecture, it was a chance to find ground of the activity in the foreign countries world for the consciousness that was apt to shut itself up in the country.

 

Mr. Gowda explained that eating habits aggravation worsened in particular while I mentioned the problem of population growth, poverty, the climate in India.

Exchange of opinions was carried out after this, and there was a question about "The motive by which Mr. Gowda aimed at a study of a food" "Indian circumstances of eating habits" "Impression to Japanese young people" etc. from students, and I was answering politely.

Finally I had the student who was in the comfortable environment know that there are a lot of people without the luck in the world, and a message to want you to act concertedly across the country, was sent by Mr. Gowda.

 

It started with Mr. Nakai's lecture from introduction of a product including the oligo saccharide we're using actually in daily life (glucose and sugar), and he explained general knowledge about oligosaccharide very clearly about the explanation of basic structure and the role in the living body of sugar and oligosaccharide.

It was explained about the mass production of the functional oligosaccharide which utilized the phosphorylase which I found newly in detail and was very clearly throughout and was the lecture about the advanced technique about the oligosaccharide production A functional oligosaccharide prepared by this technique may be close in a profit to food on near days.
