Dean and ProfessorI am conducting research on crop cultivation under unsuitable environments. Well-known unsuitable environments for agriculture include low summer temperatures and water scarcity. We are investigating the mechanisms behind the occurrence of such agro-meteorological disasters and researching the methods for predicting and implementing countermeasures after their occurrence.
