| Course description |
|
Agriculture is the foundation of our survival. Its form has changed dramatically with the advancement of science and technology through modernization. In the process of this transition, the scale of agricultural production has expanded and the concentration of farmland has increased, while causing various problems such as damage caused by pesticides. On the other hand, as the United Nations has proposed the International Year of Family Farming 2014, there are indications in the world that peasants can contribute to a sustainable society. Against this backdrop, this lecture will begin with an understanding of "what kind of social problems exist in agriculture", taking into account the actual problems and practices surrounding agriculture. Then, we would like to take the opportunity to theoretically consider the following questions: "What is the meaning of agriculture for us as human beings?”, and "How does agriculture have the potential to contribute to a sustainable society?”. |
