The cultivation of crops and raising of livestock are, and will continue to be, fundamental to human survival and prosperity. Moreover, efficient and sustainable methods of agricultural production are in demand. The Department of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources comprises five courses: Applied Plant Science, Animal Science, and Food and Agricultural Economics. Our department is located in southern Kyushu in a major agricultural production zone. Our research focuses on technological improvement to plant and animal production; development of pest management systems that take advantage of the bio-ecological environment; plant breeding that makes use of bio-technology; and management and economic analysis of agricultural production and distribution processes. The educational mission of this department is to cultivate the minds of future leaders who will be able to play an active role not only at the local event, but also globally.
The educational goals of the Department of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources are the development of human resources who contribute to the production of a high-quality food supply and to the creation of high added value for agricultural and livestock products. The accomplishment of these goals is based on students gaining knowledge and skills related to utilization of agricultural and livestock products, plant and animal breeding, plant cultivation and raising animals in southern Kyushu.
In order to carry out the sort of education that cultivates practical skills esteemed in the department, we provide education that allows students to learn and acquire knowledge in the fields related to production, management,utilization, distribution of crops and livestock. Below are our educational goals, which we believe help foster real-world capabilities among our students through practical experiments and exercises.
