Course description
The Faculty of Agriculture Field Science Center (FS Center) has five areas of education and research: resource and material recycling; natural environment; wild animal conservation; agriculture and forestry in semi-mountainous areas; and urban agriculture. The Center utilizes virgin forest, secondary forest, farmland, urban green zones and a variety of other fields located within a 100-km area of the Tokyo Metropolis as its Field Museum (FM). Field surveys are conducted for about a week at FMs in order to understand desirable man-nature relationship.
Expected Learning
Criterion for achievment: Obtain the basic skills for making academic reports, by understanding the broad range of practices related to field science. All participants need to attend all lectures of each course.
