In this Division students study recent knowledge about agricultural food production and environment management and technology that is applicable in these areas.  They acquire abilities which enable them to make international contributions to resolve global problems such as want of food and environmental destruction.

Organization of the Division
The Division comprises two courses, Bio-resource Production Science and Environment Science and Ecology.



1) Bio-resource Production Science

Department of Plant Science
The Department is organized into fields such as Plant Molecular Genetics, Plant Genetics and Breeding, Plant Physiology, Plant Pathology, Environmental Control in Plant Production, Crop Science, and Horticultural Plant Production.  Students learn about problems such as the green-house effect and pollution in cultivated fields, and they study basic science and technology concerning the sustainable production and supply of plants and crops.  They also study the technology to develop novel plant products and cultivating systems. 

Department of Animal Science
The Department is organized into fields such as Animal Developmental Biology, Animal Genetics and Breeding, Animal Reproduction, and Animal Feeding and Nutrition.  Students study advanced knowledge of zoology of domestic or zoo animals, and the technology concerning the sustainable production of domestic animals, the conservation of wild or zoo animals, and the welfare of animals.

Department of International Agro-biology
The Department is organized into fields such as International Agricultural Resources, Watershed Environments, International Agro-ecology, Agronomy, Agricultural Management, and Agro-environmental Informatics.  Students study from a global viewpoint the remote sensing measurement of forest and farmland, the technology to maintain water resources and watershed environments, social and economical analyses of rural areas and their production, and also agronomy based on agro-ecology.
