授業の概要 | Food security and sustainable agricultural development have become dominant global issues in this century. The dissemination of modern technology, sharing of research findings, and productive discussions among countries play a vital role in enhancing sustainable agriculture and food security. Most international organizations, academic institutions, and transnational agribusiness widely use English as their language of instruction. Therefore, this course aims to deepen the knowledge of global food security and sustainable agricultural practices in English. The lessons focus on the fundamentals of global food security, food safety, food production, soil management, climate change, sustainable development, agricultural and environmental economics, and statistics. At the end of this course, students will have a theoretical and analytical understanding of scientific concepts and find solutions to global food security issues and sustainable development methods while using scientific English to communicate this knowledge. |
