On September 17-20, 2025, the 9th Conference of East Asia Research Association for Agricultural Heritage Systems (ERAHS) was held in Jeju, Korea, jointly organized by the East Asia Research Association for Agricultural Heritage Systems (ERAHS), Jeju Special Self-governing Province, and the Korea Rural Heritage Association (KRHA). TCS is invited to attend the joint meeting of Korea-China-Japan central governments and ERAHS, which was convened for the first time as part of the Conference.
During the meeting, the TCS delegation presented the latest developments in trilateral cooperation, highlighting TCS’s mandates and activities. The Trilateral Young Rural Leaders Exchange Program (TREP) was presented as a key example of TCS’s efforts to promote trilateral agricultural cooperation. The presentation also introduced TCS’s broader endeavors across diverse economic sectors, including trade, environment, transport and logistics, water resources as well as new initiatives in STEM and IPR.
The Conference of ERAHS is an annual academic and policy platform established in 2014 to advance the conservation and sustainable development of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in East Asia. Held under the theme of “Sustainable Conservation of IAHS and Restoration of Community,” this year’s conference featured six sessions and introduced a new intergovernmental mechanism to strengthen regional policy cooperation in line with global initiatives, building on the agreement reached at the 4th Trilateral Agricultural Ministers’ Meeting in August 2025.
