Fostering Human Resources Equipped with Insights and Specialized Knowledge about Life, Food, the Environment, and Nature

The world faces serious challenges that will have a profound effect on the future of the planet, such as food shortages, energy crises, and environmental pollution. The role played by agriculture in all of these is growing larger, broader, and more complex. In order to satisfy the needs of such a changing society, the Faculty of Agriculture, Meijo University, has three departments: Agrobiological Resources, Applied Biological Chemistry, and Environmental Bioscience. Through its unique education and research system, the Faculty provides deep insights into life science, food science, the environment, and nature and cultivates agricultural professionals who can play an active part in solving various problems in modern society.
