授業の概要 | Acquiring, integrating, and sharing basic knowledge of agriculture and ecology are paramount factors in the ever-changing world. In this aspect, disseminating modern technology and communication among nations is vital for developing sustainable agriculture. Further, most international organizations, academic institutions, and agribusiness widely use English as their language of instruction. Therefore, this course aims to strengthen the fundamental knowledge of crop science, ecology, climate change, ozone depletion, agricultural economics, sustainable development practices, statistics, and analytical methods in English medium. At the end of this course, students will improve their fundamental knowledge of the abovementioned fields, understand various kinds of scientific literature, and apply their expertise to agriculture and environment-related problems globally while using scientific English to communicate this knowledge. |
