On March 25, 2018, Senior Researcher Satoshi Nakamura of the Crop, Livestock and Environment Division received the Society Award from the Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology (JSAEZ). The award, which honors scientific achievements and breakthroughs and its contribution to progress in applied entomology and zoology, was founded in 1957 and presented for the 62nd time in 2018. Dr. Eiji Yano, society president and a former professor at Kindai University, presented the award certificate during the 62nd JSAEZ Annual Meeting held in Kagoshima City. Dr. Nakamura, who also delivered his award lecture titled “Studies on applications of natural enemies and insect feed resources in Southeast Asia” during the event, received high praise for this research on introducing beneficial insects for biological control of insect pests and for providing a guideline for resource circulation from decomposition of food residues to produce livestock feeds. The results of his research have also provided important guidance for further studies on sustainable tropical agriculture management.
