United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences
Aiming for Harmony between People and Nature
Modern agricultural science continues to develop, covering not only traditional agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, but also diverse areas such as environmental conservation of human and biological life, disasters, distribution and economy, and food and health, and incorporating various advanced technologies. In order to respond to and contribute to the ever-changing global situation, we must train researchers who are creative, insightful, and active in the world. The United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences (Doctoral Program) provides high-standard education and research guidance for young people who aspire to become researchers, technicians, and educators, in cooperation with the Graduate Schools of Agricultural Sciences at Ehime University and Kagawa University, and the Department of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, Graduate School of Integrated Human and Natural Sciences, Kochi University. For international students, we have established the "Special Program for Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture Students" and the "Special Program for Agricultural Sciences in Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim (AAP)" in which education and research guidance is provided in English.
Major Outline
Department of Bioresource Production
Shikoku has developed a wide variety of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and livestock industries, including horticulture, vegetables, flowers, citrus, and other fruit tree production in both open and enclosed areas, aquaculture in inland and coastal areas, forestry, and livestock production, utilizing its complex geographical features. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, and Animal Husbandry aims to develop basic research and applied technology in the production and management of plants and animals.
Department of Bioresource Utilization
The processing, storage, and effective utilization of agricultural products is becoming a major sector of the national economy, and is also a way to meet the diverse demands of society for agricultural products.
There is a great need for basic education and research for the development of new biochemical engineering technologies.
We will conduct research on these basic methods and applied research utilizing them.
Department of Biological and Environmental Conservation
With population growth and resource consumption reaching unprecedented levels, the finite nature of the earth and the limits of human survival and activity have become common knowledge. Therefore, we conduct education and research based on engineering and ecological methods.
