| Course description |
|
As global population growth, climate change, and resource depletion scream, is it possible to maintain a sustainable food supply? In order to respond to this problem with the power of technology, we will understand the current technology related to agricultural production and consider the future development of technology development. This subject is a specialized subject in the Department of Regional Ecosystems and is a recommended subject for completing the Agricultural Environmental Engineering Program. The teacher in charge has experience in research and development on agricultural machinery and agricultural work technology at research institutes in the country, and in class focuses on knowledge essential to technology development to cultivate the basics of understanding the essence of technology. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Credited Auditors Explain the current situation of “M” in agricultural technology. Credited Auditors Propose a future image of agricultural technology. For perspectives on the Diploma Policy, please refer to the curriculum map of our university HP (3 policies). https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |

Development of new agricultural technology “I” 8. Test / General Discussion |
| Prerequisites |
| According to the standard hours of TUAT, 45 hours of study is a standard course for one credit course, in this course. Assuming that one piece (90 minutes) is learning for two hours, eight classes are converted as learning for 16 hours. About 30 hours of preparation and review are required to meet standard study time. |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Examination: 80%, others (work to class, problem to carry out during class): 20% It is evaluated that it is possible to explain the current state of agricultural technology and to discuss the future image. |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| In everyday life, be aware that sustainable production can be achieved only by understanding the relationship between ecosystems and local communities, not just agriculture and food supply as production activities. |
