The lab studies, from the perspective of planning theory, how farming and mountain village areas should develop as they are affected by globalization. Because farming and mountain villages are strongly shaped by local conditions, they find it hard to adapt to environmental change, and various distortions and frictions arise. The lab's topics include the direction of endogenous regional development, rational social infrastructure development for farming and mountain villages, and systems of cooperation between urban and rural areas. It is a practical and interdisciplinary field that starts from local issues and builds tools that help solve them.

The Agricultural Systems Engineering lab views agriculture, in which many elements are interconnected, as a single system and studies it from the perspectives of energy, resources, and information. The lab believes that solving the challenges of the 21st century, such as food and environmental problems and securing a stable energy supply, requires optimizing the whole system as well as advancing individual technologies. Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The lab studies agricultural irrigation facilities, which are responsible for supplying and managing water for agriculture. It develops advanced analyses that predict the behavior of facilities and estimate the internal condition of structures, aiming at maintenance and management of facilities that withstand heavy rain and earthquakes. Its methods include soil mechanics, computational science, inverse analysis, and geophysical exploration. Undergraduates are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate school: Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The lab studies how to decide on water use by paying attention to the regional water cycle and considering the impact of human activities. Using mathematical models based on fluid dynamics, together with simulations that handle surface water, groundwater and heat in an integrated way, the lab aims to help solve real water problems in agriculture and rural areas. Undergraduate students are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The lab studies how to manage the water, material and temperature environment of a region through irrigation and drainage. Rural areas face a variety of environmental problems, including turbid water runoff from paddy fields, nitrate nitrogen contamination of groundwater under upland fields, and greenhouse gas emissions from farmland. The lab aims to develop methods of managing water and chemical substances that help solve these problems while maintaining crop productivity and quality. Undergraduate students are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Field Robotics lab studies how to make agricultural machines such as combine harvesters and tractors smart and automated, using image processing, GPS, and sensors. Its work includes developing and evaluating combine harvesters that measure yield while harvesting, robotic combine harvesters that know their own position as they drive, and fertilizer-spreading machines. Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Bio-Sensing Engineering lab conducts broad research on biosensing using engineering methods, measurement of living animals and plants, and technologies for the production, sorting, processing, and storage of agricultural products and food. In basic research, the lab works on identifying the substances contained in materials, measuring physical properties using sound, light, and images, and developing methods to evaluate quality without destroying the sample. In applied research, the lab also works on automation and robotization of production facilities, informatization for food safety, and the development of biosensors that can help with preventive medicine. Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).
