An International Joint Research on Agricultural Resource Management

本研究的主要目的是为与IIASA（国际应用系统分析研究所）和德克萨斯大学R.H.Richardson教授的“考虑生态系统和环境问题的农业资源管理”联合研究项目制定计划和调查。为此，1。我们与动物生产系统学会共同举办了“考虑环境问题的农业资源管理”研讨会，并观察了三别山国家公园的草地被放牧恢复。我们观察了斋藤农场等成功地通过放牛复垦创造了优美的环境，并与动物生产系统协会、自然保护开放网络共同举办了“与自然生态和谐的农业”研讨会，在研讨会上，我们在两场讲座的基础上进行了讨论和交流：1)德克萨斯大学R.H.Richardson教授的《和谐生态系统下的农业整体管理》，2)iiasa的g.f isher博士的《考虑地球尺度环境的土地利用问题》。我们考察了琵琶湖研究所的活动，并与琵琶湖的一位渔民和一位大型农户进行了会议，从环境管理的角度讨论了捕鱼和养殖。通过以上活动，我们明确了未来规划国际联合研究的主题和方向。

The main objective of this research is to make a plan and investigation for a joint research project on "Agricultural Resource Management taking into account Eco-system and Environment Problems"with IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) and Prof. R.H.Richardson of Texas University. To this end,1. We co-organized a workshop on "Agricultural Resource Management taking into account Environment Problems" with the Society of Animal Production Systems, and observed Mt. Sanbe national park in which grass ground was recovered by pasturage.2. We observed Saito Farm and others which succeeded in creating excellent environment with beautiful view by reclamation by pasturaged cattles, and co-organized a symposium on "Agriculture in Harmonious with Natural Eco-systems" with the Society of Animal Production Systems, and Open Network for Nature Conservation, In the symposium, we discussed and exchanged ideas on the basis of lectures i) Holistic Management in Agriculture in Harmonious with Eco-systems by Prof. R.H.Richardson of Texas University, and ii) Land Use Problems taking into account Earth Scale Environment by Dr. G.Fischer of IIASA.3. We investigated the activities of Lake Biwa Research Institute, and had a meeting with a fisherman in Biwa Lake and a large scale farmer to discuss fishing and farming from the viewpoint of environmental management.Through the above activities, we clarified the theme and direction of our planning international joint research in the future.
