Department of Food Production Science

io-production technology and ensuring a stable supply of safe and secure food

The Food Production Science department offers education and research in plant production in fields, cultivation facilities, and plant factories, and the operations of distribution, storage, processing, and sale of crops to enable the development of bio-production technologies and to ensure the stable supply of safe and secure food expected of the agricultural sector. In addition, broad knowledge of cultivation, harvesting, distribution, storage, processing, and sales is required for "sixth-sector industrialization", for which social demand is high, and for analytical skills using leading-edge ICT, plant biometrics technology, and computers for "Smart Agriculture". Therefore, the program in this department aims to train researchers with a grounding in botany, agronomy, ecology, biological and environmental control, and other fields. Students acquire knowledge and methods in molecular biology and knowledge and methods in social science such as business administration and field surveys, while gaining the broad knowledge and skills required for food production in various forms from environmental conservation-type agriculture to plant production in plant factories. In this way, the program develops people who can contribute to the stable production and supply of food.
