  The aim of this unique programme is to provide young New Zealand professionals engaged or interested in agriculture with opportunities to grasp the correct understanding of the current situation in the field. The participants are expected to contribute to promotion of mutual understanding between the two countries utilizing a better understanding of Japan gained through lectures, visits to various sites pertaining to the main theme of the programme and interactions with Japanese people.
