AAI News
We have been engaged in international cooperation work overseas, mainly through JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) development studies and technical cooperation project. We publish a newsletter, "AAI News," to convey the real voices of people in these overseas countries in terms of work, lifestyle, and national character, as well as to introduce technical reports based on data obtained from the field. The content of the newsletter includes reports on topics related to agricultural technology and community development, resource management, agricultural extension, and human resource development.
What is AAIN
The word "AAIN" was created by combining AAI (Appropriate Agriculture International) and N (Newsletter). At the same time, AAIN has another important meaning. There is a familiar oasis city for us, named Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, "AAIN" means "Spring" and "Eye" in Arabic language and is associated with "Oasis" with water and recreation in the arid region.
