Dr. Norman Blugh said, “Food is a moral right of every human being born into this world.
But many people are still starving.
He emphasizes the importance of food production by explaining, “Without food, humans can survive only a few weeks, and without food, all other elements of social justice are meaningless.”
The learning objective of the textbook 『Introduction to Cultivation』 is to present an academic foundational system of basic knowledge related to agricultural production.
Looking at the structure of the textbook, Part 1 covers the 'Origin and Classification of Cultivated Plants' to help students understand the importance of crops, and Part 2, 'Heredity of Crops', covers crop varieties, genetics, breeding, and genetic resources.
Part 3 explains the influence of the 'cultivation environment' as a field for crop growth in a natural environment on crop growth, and Part 4 explains the relationship between 'cultivation technology' and crop yield formation.
In particular, it deals with the post-harvest quality of crops.
