Outline: Climate change-induced summer heat is a growing challenge to all living organisms over the globe. We have found that some blood amino acid concentrations changed in chickens when they were exposed to heat. Subsequently, we have discovered that those amino acids and their natural sources in agricultural waste can afford survival in chickens under scorching summer heat. In this class, we will learn about heat stress and sustainable poultry production using amino acids and waste watermelon.

講義概要
Forests cover nearly 70% of Japan’s land. They are often said to provide critical functions such as disaster mitigation and water source conservation—functions closely linked to our everyday lives. In Japan, forests are managed at various levels, from national to local governments. However, such management practices are not always based on solid scientific evidence. In this lecture, we will explore the question: “What kind of sustainable forest management can truly enhance forest functions and improve our quality of life?” Let this be a starting point for thinking critically about the relationship between forests, science, and society.
