Course of Environmental Ecology
The Course of Environmental Ecology provides educational programs
and research activities for environmental conservation,
safety and efficiency in food production and marketing systems,
and economical resource management.
This course offers a broad range of study fields in the environmental sciences, which focus on the study of ecosystems, and regional and global environment. Opportunities for research in a variety of environments are available. In ecological studies for environmental conservation, area specializations include population ecology, ecosystems ecology, physiological ecology, evolutionary ecology, forest ecology, and restoration ecology. For resource management and security and efficiency in food production and marketing systems, area specializations include agricultural economics, social science, marketing system analysis, and bio-production system engineering. Students in the course are expected to become researchers, engineers, and future leaders who solve problems in environmental conservation, food safety, and resource management, from both the local and global viewpoints.
