Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
F-REI’s five research areas
Perspectives on research and development at F-REI (Fukushima)
Aim to build a regional recycling-oriented economic model by establishing a high-profit/large-scale model with super labor-saving/super efficiency and the effective use of forest resources through full automation, robotization, and smartification of agriculture, forestry and fisheries work. In the meantime, basic research on variety improvement, organic farming and contaminated soil improvement through the use of radioisotope (RI) tracers will be promoted*.
*In FY2023, in the fourth field (radiation science/drug discovery), planning to conduct visualization of element dynamics within plants using RI.
