Course description
In recent years, the necessity of efforts to maintain biological resources such as conservation of biodiversity has increased in worldwide. International discussion is actively promoted around the maintenance and management of forest resources and marine resources on a global scale. Economic activities that consider the sustainability of biological resources, including the management of genetic resources and the reduction of food loss, are becoming inevitable. In this lecture, we will take the agriculture, forestry and fishery products as biological resources, consider how global conditions and policies concerning the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry and products are changing rom the global point of view,

This lecture is provided by teachers with practical experience.
