Environmental Conservation
In today’s global society, where the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly severe, agricultural land, as a production base, is expected to contribute to mitigation and adaptation for climate change through rainwater recharge, organic matter conservation, and greenhouse gas reduction, while producing food in a sustainable and stable manner. Therefore, we are conducting research on management methods of agricultural land through investigation, experimentation, monitoring, and prediction of soil, water, chemicals, and atmospheric environments at multi-layered spatial scales from the earth to the arable land.
