| 授業の概要 | Agriculture, food production and natural environment are severely affected by climate change and population growth. Dissemination of modern technology, sharing research findings and productive discussions among countries across the world in the fields of agriculture and forestry play a vital role to enhance sustainable food production while protecting the environment. Most of the national and international organizations, academics, multinational companies in food and agribusinesses use English as their language of instruction. Therefore this course is designed to deepen the knowledge on agrobiology and forestry in English medium. The students will engage with basic scientific facts of crop production, soil management, plant pests, plant pathology, climate change, agroecology, and sustainable development. The lectures are offered in English and lessons are focused on developing the skills of presentation, writing, and formal communications. At the end of this course, students will have attained a theoretical and practical understanding of scientific concepts and apply the fundamental knowledge for finding solutions to agriculture related problems in the future, while using English to communicate this knowledge. |
