Biodiversity plays a vital role in agriculture by providing a wide range of ecosystem functions and services that support agricultural production, such as crop pollination, pest control, and the maintenance of soil health. However, in recent years, the expansion and intensification of agricultural production have led to concerns about the decline of biodiversity in farmland and surrounding areas.
Currently, there is a growing demand for a transition to a "nature-positive" society that restores biodiversity and harnesses the functions of nature. In this context, the Department of Biodiversity is advancing research aimed at creating agricultural environments that coexist with rich biodiversity. By realizing labor-saving and sustainable agricultural practices, the department seeks to contribute to people's well-being and the broader benefits of society.
