Greetings from Director
The International Center for Research and Education in Agriculture (ICREA) was founded with the aim to
educate and train people capable of oﬀering practical solutions to issues related to the development ofagricultural sciences. Since its foundation, ICREA has been encouraging basic research and overseas ﬁeld
research by creating an international network of researchers. Focus has also been placed on research andeducation activities aimed at educating and training individuals from both inside and outside the country tosolve problems encountered at the actual sites of agricultural production. ICREA obtained its current name18 years after its foundation, i.e. in April 2018. In the meantime, several new research departments werecreated, namely "Tropical Bioresources" and "Genetic Information for Bioresources" under the Research andApplication Division, and "Practical Studies in Africa" and "Practical Studies in Asia" under the Rural
Development Division. The Research and Application Division has the ultimate goal to promote sustainablegrowth through the development and utilization of local resources and the preservation of the environmentthat is key to securing such resources. In order to promote mission-oriented international research activities
in agriculture and forestry and to focus our eﬀorts on educational activities that are informed by ﬁndings

search for and characteristic evaluation of agricultural and forest resources in the tropics, genetic analysis ofsome useful traits found in biological resources, and research into sustainable agricultural/forest productionand eﬀective utilization of resources. The Rural Development Division, on the other hand, works on the development of sustainable andgood agricultural/forest production practices in tropical regions of Asia and Africa as well as on the adaptation and dissemination of new
resources and technologies, and is focused on research that specializes in the social implementation of research ﬁndings. The recently
established International Coordination Oﬃce, tasked with building an international network of researchers and managing various projects,
is focused on promoting collaborations with various organizations within and outside the country, including the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the Japan International Research Center
for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), as well as enhancing our communication capabilities to more eﬀectively reach our audience.
In recent years, an increasing number of people in emerging countries have been seeking variety in food. In line with this, and as an
approach to sustainable food production based on the principles of food security and environmental preservation, Field Science plays an
increasingly important role in establishing a new technology by integrating the basic ﬁndings that have accumulated in developed countries
and adapting it for use in emerging countries. We continue encouraging joint international research eﬀorts in the ﬁeld of international
agricultural development. We appreciate your kind understanding and support for our activities, and we invite all aspiring individuals andorganizations to join us in our endeavor.

Background
Many developing countries are still suﬀering from food shortages, poor agricultural production, poverty, environmental destruction, infectious
diseases aﬀecting domestic animals, and other agricultural problems, which are regarded today as serious global issues that need to beaddressed. To solve these issues, we need to develop appropriate agricultural techniques by undertaking socio-economic impact assessmentand ensuring eﬀective use of natural resources and harmony with the natural environment. In addition, it is equally important to produce
high-quality human resources. International cooperation is essential for this endeavor, and Japan is expected to take an active part in it.
This trend was especially strong in the 1990s, when the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture (equivalent to today's Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) set up the Council for Understanding the Latest Forms of International Educational
Collaboration. In its report published in June 1996, the Council presented new policies relating to international educational collaboration,highlighting the importance of actively responding to the increasing demand for international cooperation in education, clarifying the importantroles played by universities and other related institutions in educational collaboration, and emphasizing the importance of not only promoting
collaboration among businesses/institutions but also encouraging educational institutions to take voluntary and organized action to eﬀectively
promote educational collaboration.
In April 1999, as part of the governmental eﬀorts to realize these policies, the ICREA (reorganized from the International Cooperation Center
for Agricultural Education (ICCAE) in April of 2018) was established at Nagoya University as a center that takes an initiative in training
individuals to acquire the ability to ﬁnd practical solutions to the developmental issues in the ﬁeld of agriculture, under the supervision of the
Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture.
The ICREA has put together the expertise of agricultural universities and other related educational and research institutions in Japan andused integrated multidisciplinary approaches to contribute to the resolution of various agricultural issues in developing countries. Furthermore,
the ICREA has been promoting international research and education activities based on the belief that human development eﬀorts should beundertaken both inside and outside the country.

Graduate education
The ICREA is involved in the graduate education programs at the Department of Plant Production Sciences of the Graduate School of
Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University. We have instructors with extensive international experience who are committed to preparing
individuals for career paths in academia or business where an international perspective is needed. If you wish to study at the ICREA, you
should ﬁrst consult with a faculty member in charge of the laboratory in which you wish to study, and then take the entrance examination for
the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University. Individual consultations for graduate school admissions are available at any
time. If interested, please contact us using the email address provided on the last page of this brochure.

International Sago Palm Project for food security improvement
Agricultural food production must increase by 70% globally to feed the world's population that is projected to reach 9 billion by
2050. Faced with increasingly serious challenges to food security, including climate change and diminishing underground resources
such as oil and phosphorus, it is more important than ever to improve agricultural production and productivity in a sustainable manner
while minimizing post-harvest biomass losses. Our research group is focusing on sago palms that grow naturally in the Southeast Asianand South Paciﬁc regions.
This palm adapts well to infertile, acid soils or brackish-water regions that are
generally unsuited for crop cultivation. Additionally, it can store about 300 kg of starchin its trunk. Sago is a staple food for local residents, and is also used in food products
like biscuits and noodles. In Japan, sago starch is used for dusting when making udon,
as an ingredient in allergen-free or hypoallergenic foods, and as a substance capableof suppressing post-meal glucose spikes. With only 10% of wild and semi-cultivatedsago palm stands currently harvested, there is signiﬁcant potential for further
exploitation of this economically valuable plant.
Our laboratory is committed to developing stable cultivation techniques for sago
palm by elucidating the mechanisms underlying its environmental stress tolerance,
enabling eﬃcient seedling production, and utilizing useful microorganisms such as
nitrogen-ﬁxing fungi and mycorrhizal fungi.

Evaluation of root adaption to soil environments with water and nutrient stress in rice
To establish stable and sustainable crop production under unfavorable
soil environments is an important issue. As a trait related to crop stress
tolerance, in recent years attention has been focused on root traits, whichhave been retrenched requiring a great deal of time and eﬀort. The rootsystem architecture and anatomy change in response to changing soil
environments. We are undertaking research on root system structure and its
physiological function for adaption to soil environmental stress such as
drought and nitrogen deﬁciency, mainly focusing on rice. We are also
investigating the methods for evaluating root traits from hydroponic
conditions to soil culture conditions using root box and tubes.

Genetic improvement of rice to secure stable rice production in unfavorable environments.
In addition to the conventional cross breeding and mutation breeding technologies, novel breeding techniques, such as quantitative
trait locus (QTL) analysis (which identiﬁes QTLs associated with stress tolerance) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) (which canquickly and accurately identify the presence of a speciﬁc quantitative trait locus) are now available to breed improved rice varieties
with a greater eﬃciency, thanks to the recent research advancements in the ﬁeld of agricultural sciences. Novel techniques, such as
next generation sequencing (NGS) (which quickly and inexpensively provides genome-wide genetic information on living organisms)
and new plant breeding techniques (NBT) (new approach to genome editing) have also been developed. We are using theset e c h n o l o g i e s to a c h i e v egenetic improvement of ricewith the goal of securing
stable rice p ro du c tio n inunfavorable environments.

Improvement of rice productivity under environmental stressconditions in Africa
In many sub-Saharan African countries, it is fundamental to boost rice production because theincreased rice consumption exceeds the growth in domestic rice production. However, rice yields in
sub-Saharan Africa have remained low due to various biotic and abiotic stresses. The Laboratory ofCold weather damage

Practical Studies in Africa is making comprehensive eﬀorts to increase and stabilize rice yield undersuch unfavorable environments. Our research activities include development of new varieties suitable
for the local environments, evaluation of gene-expression and local adaptability of rice varieties
carrying useful genes/QTL, development of cultivation technologies to maximize the potential of rice
varieties, elucidation of socio-economic conditions for technology dissemination.

Combatting root-parasitic weed Striga using suicide germination stimulant in Africa
The root-parasitic weed Striga hermonthica has been causing huge problems on cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Striga
seeds germinate in response to plant hormones called strigolactones released from the roots of host plants, and then infest the host.
In the absence of host plants, Striga dies within 4 days after germination. Recently, our collaborators developed a Striga-selective
suicide germination stimulant called Sphinolactone-7 (SPL7). It can induce germination of Striga without host plants. The Laboratory ofPractical Studies in Africa is working with researchers inside and outside our university to develop a
Striga control method using SPL7. Our research activities include veriﬁcation of the eﬀects of SPL7,
evaluation of the genetic diversity of Stiga, and elucidation of socio -economic conditions fortechnology dissemination.

faculty and students, providing vital opportunities for human resource development in the country. Some individuals trained in thisproject have recently found careers in government and academia, leading to multiple other joint research projects involving otheruniversities and government agencies.
We are particularly committed to action research, focusing on traditional food products that are vanishing from the market due tothe impacts of the civil war and social transformations triggered by recent rapid economic growth. Action research allows us to
identify and address current conditions and challenges, test and implement solutions in real-world settings, and promote their broader
application to resolve or mitigate these challenges.

Study of the impact of using a small-scale biogas system for forest conservation in
Nepal's hilly region
Timber harvesting for ﬁrewood, used for everyday cooking, is one of the major
contributors to deforestation in Nepal . Since the 1970s, the local government,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international organizations have beenpromoting the use of small-scale biogas systems utilizing livestock manure as analternative to ﬁrewood. Our laboratory has been collaborating with a local NGO in
Nepal since 2008 to analyze the eﬀectiveness and impacts of using small-scale biogas
systems as an alternative to ﬁrewood. This analysis has demonstrated their signiﬁcantrole in reducing ﬁrewood consumption. However, despite these advancements, thedeterioration of communit y-managed forests and wildlife -related damages haveoccasionally been observed in the country. To clarify the current situation and makepolicy recommendations to government agencies, we are currently conducting
quantitative and qualitative analyses to understand the changes in local residents'
livelihood activities and forest management practices.

Japan Intellectual Support Network in Agricultural Sciences
Founded on November 30, 2009, the Japan Intellectual Support Network in Agricultural Sciences (JISNAS) serves as a bridge
between the universities that are committed to playing a part in international cooperation activities in the ﬁeld of agricultural sciences
and the international institutions/organizations that specialize in agricultural research. The ICREA, which was one of the founding
members of the JISNAS, has served as the secretariat for JISNAS with a clear mission and vision in mind.
There are various ways through which universities can contribute to international cooperation. They could, for example, provide
advanced education and training programs to concerned parties in both developing countries and Japan, conduct academic research
to investigate the problems that exist in developing countries, carry out international development studies, or actually take part ininternational cooperation. Since its foundation, the JISNAS has shared its knowledge ande x p e ri e n ce w i t h t h e i n te rn a t i o n a l co m m u n i t y t h ro u g h va ri o u s a c t i v i t i e s (e. g . ,educational/research activities, social contribution activities, etc.) in the ﬁeld of agriculturalsciences.
