Welcome Message
Dear guests and participants,
I am pleased to welcome you to the Higher Education Forum Conference in Osaka, a city brimming with vitality in preparation for the 2025 Japan International Exposition!
Located in the heart of the Kinki region, Osaka has historically developed as a merchant town and is known for its rich history, innovative spirit, and warm hospitality.
This Osaka is also called "the kitchen of the nation." Various mouth-watering dishes, from cheap but delicious local delicacies such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki to fugu nabe ("Tetchiri Nabe”), will take you on a culinary adventure. During your stay, please enjoy Osaka's gastronomic delights to the fullest.
Osaka is also known as the "City of Laughter" for its vibrant and influential comedy ("Owarai") culture. Osaka has a unique form of entertainment known as "Manzai." It is characterized by rapid-fire conversation between a "Boke" (funny person) and a "Tsukkomi" (serious person).
Although you may find listening to rapid-fire conversations conducted in Japanese difficult, laughter is universal. The reactions that unfold at a light tempo will surely make you smile.
Osaka also has a rich cultural heritage, as represented by Osaka Castle, and there is no shortage of experiences to entertain and inspire you.
I hope you will not only experience the latest advances and insights in your fields but also take the time to immerse yourself in the essence of Osaka: its warmth, vibrancy, and spirit of innovation.
Once again, a warm welcome to Osaka, where tradition and innovation merge, and every moment is an adventure.
I wish you a fruitful and memorable international conference!
keynote Speaker
Environment and Agro Business
This presentation/article aims to share a human experience of the Federation of Agriculture of São Paulo, the strongest state in Brazil, connecting people, agro business and environment, through an anthropological proposal.
Besides protecting the environment and promoting sustainability with very concrete goals, we also focus in the sustainability of relationships and the human being as an absolute good, that is: what is a planet for those who don’t get along well or to care about the extinction of specimens when we end up with ours.
Thus, we try to promote education through Senar system, which we will explain, so that people can learn how to respect the environment and also invest on family agriculture in an ecological way, to guarantee food security.
Only a philosophical and anthropological point of view can understand the role of the environment towards the human being and take the best advantage, not in an utilitarian way, but in a true way, as it is supposed to be, so that the connection promoted by this approach can generate real sustainability, social and economic development and the flourishment of each human being as well.
Finally, departing from our experience we want to share the programs we have to promote ESG in Agro Business in Brazil in a practical way.
