Based on the knowledge and skills of dietitians, and by incorporating a wide range of cultures such as business and education, the ability to discover and solve various food-related problems, and the ability to create and propose "food that practices affluent living" Nourish. There are also abundant practical programs in collaboration with local communities and companies. After graduation, the field will expand not only to the dietitian field but also to the food business, coordinator, and education.

The Meiji University School of Agriculture traces its origin to the Meiji Agricultural Vocational School, which was founded in 1946. Ever since its establishment, it has reorganized and expanded in response to the needs of the times and society.

(Understanding the oceans) studies different ecosystems for aquatic organisms in the oceans, rivers and lakes of the world, including chemical analysis of water composition and the impacts of waves and water flows.

Explaining the phenomena of life at the molecular level in the organisms that form ecosystems The Earth is home to a vast variety of living organisms, which comprise rich ecosystems that exist in harmony with the environment. The Environmental Biology Course conducts research with the goal of understanding how organisms recognize the environment in ecosystems and harmonize their activities using the language of molecules. For example, the course covers research into the mechanisms by which animals recognize and respond to external stimuli such as light, and research into the effects of endocrine disruptors flowing into rivers, lakes, and marshes on fish and other wildlife and the mechanisms by which those effects are carried out. Other projects in which department are enthusiastically involved include research into the mechanisms of plant environmental recognition and plant immunity to pathogenic bacteria, research into the physiological mechanisms of microorganisms and the control of their lifespans, and research into the various physiologically active substances that are created by organisms in the environment. We consider research in areas such as these to provide a basis for maintaining ecosystems that are rich in life into the indefinite future.

This department contributes to the education and research on socio-economic studies focusing on fisheries distribution and management, information processing, and related fields. We seek to provide high quality, interdisciplinary education with the following student learning: 1. To demonstrate knowledge of socio-economic backgrounds covering production, distribution, and consumption. 2. To demonstrate knowledge of the fisheries industry in Japan and internationally. 3. To comprehend the industry in general by using the collected data and information. 4. To contribute to the distribution, management, and administration of the fisheries industry.

The department administers a comprehensive education and research program that uses the latest technology to study a wide variety of the basic scientific principles necessary for breeding and reproduction technology used in fisheries, animals, and plants while seeking harmony with nature. The department is dedicated to cultivating graduates who are capable of serving as leaders, through the public office or real-world fisheries, and who are equipped with advanced problem-solving skills. In addition, the department also cultivates people for involvement in "creation and cultivation" type fisheries activities, such as breeding and reproduction.

The Faculty of Agriculture has a department including four courses. We offer students opportunities to learn Synthetic Science, which focuses on Sustainable Crop Production and Conservation of the Natural Environment, and Advanced Science, which focuses on the Elucidation and Application of Bioscience. Currently, we are faced with many serious issues, such as food supply and safety, environment preservation, information society, bioenergy, and the local community, about which you can learn and study in our Faculty.

The goal of the Tokyo Tech Academy of Energy and Informatics is to develop Multi-Scope･Energy WISE Professionals who will help realize a sustainable, human-centric energy society free of usage constraints such as costs and CO2 emissions. This will involve using tools for the intelligent use of energy, such as AI-based big data analysis. After mastering multidisciplinary energy science, these individuals will transform and design this new energy society using big data science and their social design skills. We will achieve this through the Tokyo Tech Academy of Energy and Informatics program. Developing Multi-Scope･Energy WISE Professionals will enhance the quality of Tokyo Tech’s research in the field of Integrated Energy Science, one of our primary fields, as well as develop WISE Professionals capable of succeeding in the field. Achieving these two ends will also help us attain the goal of our Designated National University proposal, which is to drive Tokyo Tech’s research quality to world-leading levels. This is why Tokyo Tech is devoting all its resources to cultivating and sending out Multi-Scope･Energy WISE Professionals into the world.

Confronting the environmental issues faced by the Earth and mankind in a wide range of fields. While enhancing accurate comprehension and awareness of various environmental issues, this department engages in practical education centered on “eco-chemistry”, “biochemistry”, and “energy machines” related to the development of environmentally-friendly chemicals, and the search for effective energy utilization technology and biomaterials. By doing so, it seeks to develop human resources who have a high level of environmental awareness and are able to actively participate in these broad fields.

The education provided by the Faculty of Agriculture is characterized by wide-ranging lectures, experimentation and abundant field study to produce graduates capable of making careers in the areas of bioscience and field science. The Faculty also contributes energetically to the region, mainly through the Field Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry, and carries out an international exchange.

Discovery of “knowledge” by leveraging the latest scientific technology At the Department of Plant Life Science, students will expand the foundation of their basic research based on the discoveries of new “knowledge” by leveraging the latest scientific technology. Academic themes: ● Genetics　● Sustainable environmental energy　● Fermentation and brewing　● Plant protection　● Environmental response　● Biotechnology

In the Department of Environmental Science, students receive education and conduct research in order to create an environment in which humans and nature can co-exist. We aim to nurture individuals who can contribute to creating a comfortable local community that is safe and inviting. With a base of knowledge related to land, water, and air, students gain an understanding of the connections between human activities and the environment/ecosystems and focus their study on the theory and technology necessary for providing for both production and living environments, while protecting the natural environment. To give students the best chance of future success, we have a comprehensive program of subjects involving experiments and practicums relating to the environment. We also provide numerous opportunities to learn in various environments away from the university. Students can then learn and experience in real-life environments, to really learn about what ‘environment’ means.
