Based on the field study and research at three countries in Japan (Nishinoko basin, Biwa lake area and Kinki University campus field), Hanoi suburb in Vietnam, and Chiang Mai suburb in Thailand, the model for material cycling was established. Utilizing this model, sustainable farming practices for each site and the mechanism for better manifestation of multifunctional roles were identified. Outcomes of the study was widely publicized at the International Workshop on "Material Cycling for Sustainable Agriculture" at the occasion of the 2010 International Conference of the International Society of Paddy, Water and Environment held in Korea in October 2010.
