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 were
Prof. Hiroshi EHARA
created, namely "Tropical Bioresources" and "Genetic Information for Bioresources" under the Research andDirector
Application Division, and "Practical Studies in Africa" and "Practical Studies in Asia" under the Rural
Applied Social System
Institute of Asia
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 environment that is key to securing
such resources. In order to promote mission-oriented international research activities in agriculture and forestry and to focus oureﬀorts on educational activities that are informed by ﬁndings from joint international research endeavors, the Research andApplication Division has been actively engaged in research eﬀorts to address climate change and rapidly changing social
conditions, including the search for and characteristic evaluation of agricultural and forest resources in the tropics, genetic
analysis of some useful traits found in biological resources, and research into sustainable agricultural/forest production andeﬀective utilization of resources. The Rural Development Division, on the other hand, works on the development of sustainable
and good agricultural/forest production practices in tropical regions of Asia and Africa as well as on the adaptation anddissemination of new resources and technologies, and is focused on research that specializes in the social implementation ofresearch ﬁndings. The Global Collaboration Oﬃce established in recent years is responsible for creating an international networkof researchers and for running various projects with the goal to promote an eﬃcient implementation of projects.
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 Scienceplays an increasingly important role in establishing a new technology by integrating the basic ﬁndings that have accumulated indeveloped countries and adapting it for use in emerging countries. We continue encouraging joint international research eﬀorts inthe ﬁeld of international agricultural development. We appreciate your kind understanding and support for our activities, and we
invite all aspiring individuals and organizations to join us in our endeavor.

B a ckgr ound
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 be addressed. To solve these issues, we need to develop appropriate agricultural techniques by
undertaking socio-economic impact assessment and ensuring eﬀective use of natural resources and harmony with the naturalenvironment. In addition, it is equally important to produce high-quality human resources. International cooperation is essential forthis 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 ofInternational Educational Collaboration. In its report published in June 1996, the Council presented new policies relating tointernational educational collaboration, highlighting the importance of actively responding to the increasing demand forinternational cooperation in education, clarifying the important roles 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 ofagriculture, 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 inJapan and used 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 thathuman development eﬀorts should be undertaken both inside and outside the country.

G raduate e duc a tio n

Development of ﬂood-adaptive rice cultivation technology

The world has witnessed a rapid increase in major ﬂooding events. In ﬂood-prone regions, rice must be planted during the
deepwater ﬂood phase of the rainy season in order to prevent rice crops from sustaining damage from dryness during thelate stage of growth. Inevitably, this puts the rice crops at risk of ﬂood damage during the early stage of growth
In addition to reevaluating the double-transplanting technique that has been used in the
low-lying swamps along the east coast of Sumatra and the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia,
we have been investigating the growth response of the locally grown rice varieties to ﬂoods
to identify the traits associated with ﬂood adaptation of rice varieties that are grown inseveral diﬀerent regions with varying water depth levels and varying periods of deepwaterFirst transplanting
ﬂood phase. Our goal here is to ensure stable production of rice crops in ﬂood-prone regions(second transplanting
through the use of traditional techniques, and to improve cultivation technology that not only
will be done after 20 days)
help mitigate the harmful eﬀects of submergence stress but also facilitate recovery from ﬂood
damage.

Development International Sago Palm Project for food security improvement

03

Agricultural production must increase by 70% globally to feed the world's population that isprojected to reach 9 billion by 2050. Climate change and diminishing underground resources(including oil) also pose serious challenges to food security, and we need to focus on how we
can enhance agricultural production/productivity in a sustainable way while minimizing
post-harvest biomass losses. In view of this, our research group focused its attention on sago
palms that grow naturally in Southeast Asian and South Paciﬁc regions.
This palm adapts well to infertile/acid soils or brackish-water regions that are generally
unsuited for crop cultivation. Furthermore, one palm can yield approximately 300 kg ofstarch. Sago is a staple food for local residents, and is used as an ingredient in biscuits,
noodles, and other food products. Sago ﬂour is used as bench ﬂour for udon noodle making inJapan. As an ingredient of choice for people with food allergies, sago has recently been used
in a number of cosmetics as well. With only 10% of the wild and semi-cultivated sago palm
stands believed to be harvested for use today, there is much room left for further exploitationof this economic plant.
In our laboratory, we are investigating the mechanism through which sago palms adapt tosaline and acidic soils. Furthermore, we are carrying out ﬁeld surveys to monitor the growthof sago palms to inform our eﬀorts to develop an eﬀective cultivat ion management strategy
that enables stable growth of sago palms.

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, which have been retrenchedrequiring a great deal of time and eﬀort. The root system 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 themethods 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 can quickly
and accurately identify the presence of a speciﬁc quantitative trait
locus) are now available to breed improved rice varieties with a

research advancements in the ﬁeld ofagricultural sciences. Novel techniques, such as
next generation sequencing (NGS) (whichquickly and inexpensively provides genome-wide
genetic information on living organisms) andnew plant breeding techniques (NBT) (newapproach to genome editing) have also beendeveloped. We are using these technologies toachieve genetic improvement of rice with thegoal of securing stable rice production in
unfavorable environments.

Improvement of rice productivity under environmental stress conditions in Africa
In many sub-Saharan African countries, it is fundamental to boost rice production
because the increased rice consumption exceeds the growth in domestic rice production.
However, rice yields in sub-Saharan Africa have remained low due to various biotic andabiotic stresses. The Laboratory of Practical Studies in Africa is making comprehensive
eﬀorts to increase and stabilize rice yield under such 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 thepotential 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, ourcollaborators developed a Striga-selective suicide germination stimulant called
Sphinolactone-7 (SPL7). It can induce germination of Striga without host plants. The
Laboratory of Practical 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, andelucidation of socio-economic conditions for technology dissemination.

Joint research eﬀorts to improve educational and research conditions in an agricultural university in Cambodia

0５

After over 20 years of civil war, many farmers in Cambodia are still living in extreme poverty, which is worsened by low
agricultural productivity and income. The genocide perpetrated by Pol Pot's regime in the 1970s and the subsequent civil
war left the country with a severe shortage of labor. Furthermore, Cambodia's agricultural universities have been unable to
fulﬁll its duty of identifying agricultural issues in the country and delivering good solutions for them. Since 2000, the ICREA
has been assisting the Royal University of Agriculture (RUA) in Cambodia improve its educational and research conditions,reform the education system, and establish both master's and doctoral programs in agricultural sciences. We have beencommitted since 2008 to lead the movement towards the introduction of the practical training and research approaches
that oﬀer the opportunity for hands-on experience and practice in the local farming communities.
Our focus is on the traditional agricultural products and vegetable production that, if handled properly, should yield good
proﬁts. Through our research activities, we have identiﬁed the current agricultural issues and challenges in Cambodia,
proposed and tested several solutions to them, and put our research ﬁndings into practice by taking part in theinternational cooperation activities such as JICA (Japan International Cooperation
Agency) Partnership Program. By combining research and on-site support activities,
we have been able to undertake a wide variety of basic research studies and oﬀer
university instructors and students the chance to not only get hands-on experience ofinvestigating and solving the problems that are actually occurring in the local farming
communities but also understand how research and education can contribute to
identifying and solving the agricultural issues in the country.
By building on the experience we have gained through our research and support
activities with the RUA, we have started gradually a human resources development

Empirical research exploring how biogas production from livestock manure may help preserve forests in Nepal

Degraded forests in hilly areas of Nepal

Timber harvesting to supply fuelwood used for cooking every day is one of the major
factors contributing to deforestation in many developing countries. Non-governmentalorganizations (NGOs) and international institutions are accelerating their eﬀorts toencourage developing countries to use biogas produced from livestock manure to replace
wood fuel sources. Although the use of biogas can clearly reduce fuelwood consumption,
little is known about other desirable and undesirable eﬀects of biogas use. This research uses
data obtained from ﬁeld surveys conducted in a hilly district in Nepal where biogas
technology was introduced nearly 20 years ago to analyze (both quantitatively andqualitatively) the positive and negative impacts of biogas production on fuelwood
consumption, forest vegetation, livelihood of local residents, and forest management schemes.

Japan Intellectual Support Network in Agricultural Sciences
Founded on November 30, 2009, the Japan Intellectual Support Network in Agricultural Sciences (JISNAS) serves as abridge between the universities that are committed to playing a part in international cooperation activities in the ﬁeld ofagricultural 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 andvision 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 in international cooperation. Since its foundation, the JISNAS has shared its knowledge andexperience with the international community through various activities (e.g., educational/research activities, social
contribution activities, etc.) in the ﬁeld of agricultural sciences. With the recent advancement of social and economic
globalization in advanced as well as developing/emerging countries throughout the world,
