The Potential for Creating Ethical Value with Agricultural Production

Ethical consumption is a new trend in which consumers choose businesses and products that are engaged in solving social issues when they consume. We are investigating the possibility of creating ethical values by analyzing consumer preferences for agricultural products produced through cooperation between agriculture and welfare, and environmentally friendly agricultural products produced in developing countries.

Development of Sustainable and Stable Social Systems in Southeast Asian Countries

In Southeast Asian countries, people's economic activities are becoming more and more active due to rapid economic development. Under such circumstances, the demand for land, capital, and labor for agricultural production is changing in rural areas. It is essential to ensure the sustainable use of resources in the future through appropriate resource management. We are investigating the current status of agricultural production activities in such areas and conducting research on the development of sustainable and stable social systems.

Development of the sustained resource management system in the intermediate and mountainous area

In the mid-hills and mountainous regions of Japan, the traditional local resource management system has become l less effective due to the rapid aging and the decrease in population. We are developing a sustainable local resource management system for the maintenance of local communities, while conducting surveys and researches on the measurement of value-added creation effects by utilizing biomass resources in the mid-hills and mountainous areas, and planning for the conservation of terraced rice paddies, which are a valuable local resource.
