Outline of the Institute for Advanced Agricultural Research?
Setsunan University’s Institute for Advanced Agricultural Research is an interdisciplinary research organization belonging to the Faculty of Agriculture, established in 2020. Agriculture in the 21st century faces several global issues, including the increasing population, climate change, and an aging society. The institute promotes interdisciplinary collaboration with other research areas, such as information technology and medical sciences, to meet these challenges. We also aim to improve the sustainability of agriculture and food systems. The purpose of the institute is to establish a center for "a new style of agricultural science" that focuses on smart agriculture and new urban agriculture. Moreover, the institute promotes R&D based on collaboration between government, industry, and academia, while the institute makes its most efforts to provide the latest research achievements.
