Development of a Millimeter‑Wave Non‑Destructive Inspection System for Wood Materials
In this research, we aim to visualize internal information of materials using electromagnetic wave analysis technologies, thereby reducing the complexity of manufacturing processes and material losses that have long been considered unavoidable in the manufacturing industry, and ultimately contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. In the case of wood materials, internal properties cannot […]
Development of an Upcycling Cultivation Method Using Koji Mold to Enable Efficient Production of Functional Alternative Meat
As a response to the environmental crisis and food security challenges, we are advancing the development of novel alternative meat ingredients derived from koji mold biomass. To reduce cultivation costs and promote resource circularity, we are investigating efficient cultivation methods that utilize food by‑products such as sake lees. Through this development, we aim to realize […]
Development of a High‑Efficiency, Multi‑Task Direct Seeding Machine to Accommodate Expanding Cultivated Areas
As the agricultural workforce continues to decline, farmland is becoming increasingly large‑scale, making highly efficient farming operations with fewer workers essential. In particular, seeding operations, which impose a heavy labor burden, require significant efficiency improvements. With the cooperation of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), we are developing a direct seeding machine that […]
Development of a Biological Control Method for Stable Flies Using Native Parasitic Wasps
To achieve the first practical application in Japan of biological control of the livestock pest stable fly using native parasitoid wasps, this project will implement several key initiatives. These include the planned mass production of native parasitoid wasps as biological control agents, the development of long-term cold storage technologies that enable inventory control and shipment […]
Commercialization of a One-Stop Service for Farmland Analysis, Diagnosis, and Improvement Proposals Based on Soil Microbial Data
In this project, we will develop technologies that provide farmland condition diagnosis and improvement support based on soil microbial data and farm management data. In collaboration with agricultural consultants and input suppliers, we will also advance analytical technologies that enable the evaluation of cultivation practices and agricultural inputs. Through these efforts, we aim to establish […]
