Global Drylamd Science

It is an important task for humans to have secure food supply to support the increasing population while protecting the environment. We believe that one of the keys to accomplish this goal is to enhance food productivity in dryland and to combat desertification in the world. This division is interdisciplinary one including water-use planning, ecological climatology, livestock feeding, pedosphere ecological engineering, bio-environmental control engineering. This division offers research programs and trainings to become excellent researchers and engineers who have practical skills and capacity for leadership in dryland sciences and solving problems in dryland such as food scarcity or desertification.
