Nagata Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A human geography lab that reads the dynamics of agriculture, from tropical plantations to rural farming and mountain communities in Japan.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading agricultural change from the field.
The Nagata Lab studies agriculture and related activities, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions and in rural farming and mountain communities in Japan.
Building on the methods of human geography, the lab analyzes them through a framework called the theory of social-ecological system change.
The lab considers the phenomena before us to be the result of chains of human action unfolding within historically formed ecological and social environments.
Through concrete, empirical discussion, the lab aims to make an original contribution to local communities in Japan and abroad, and to issues surrounding development and the environment.
