New four departments scheduled for 2026
We are now starting to learn about "future agriculture," which connects food, the environment, and life to create a sustainable and prosperous society. *The contents described here are currently under planning and reviewing, so it may be subject to change.
■Learn "science" to pave the way for a prosperous future society
The School of Agriculture is a faculty where students broadly and deeply study science (natural + social science) necessary to solve the increasingly serious and complex problems of modern society and to pave the way for a sustainable prosperous society of the future. In this school, students will gain the ability to open up the future by studying specific specialized fields in depth in each department, based on learning that focuses on future prospects, technological progress, and social change in the field of agriculture, in order to identify various issues in the fields of food, life, and the environment, make theoretical and practical proposals, and be active in the field.
~Improving the functionality of foods and ingredients~
●Developing the study of chemistry and biology, elucidating the various possibilities of biological resources, especially their impact on taste and health
