<important points of the discussion>
There are some problems to the decrease of young people who are interested in agriculture. One of them is that farm family has little income. Also, young people don't think agriculture is worthwhile. In addition, aging of population is a bif problem.
There are some solutions to these problems. It's good to get students to go to a big city and to acquire higher education. And then, other solution is gathering many volunteers of students in the city or another big city to enjoy some agricultural activities. In adittion, holding a thanksgiving day is also good to gain attention to agriculture.

<what the outcome was>
Establishing an agricultural course in the college is the best way to attract young people to agriculture much more.

<my personal opinion>  
Kyoka said there was not an opportunity to have another job not agriculture, so I thought it was not necessary to think about only agriculture. If the college gives students a skill of management, they might be able to have their own company in the city. I think it's good for students to take a class management.  

<how effective the discussion was>
I think this discussion was coherent. The moderator summarized some opinions of panel members several times and asked various questions to the members, so I could understand well. Also, it was good for the moderator to persuade present situation in the city clearly in the first step. I think panel members expressed their opinion in detail and well.

<how it could have been better >
There were some of the members speaking a little faster, so if they speak more slowly, citizens can catch their opinion clearly.
