A variety of materials has been circulating through atmosphere, hydrosphere,
pedosphere, and biosphere in a sustainable manner. In the middle of the 20th
century and onward, however, vigorous human activities have been disturbing
the sustainability of the material circulation, and brought about various
ill-balanced material flows, resulting in a rise in greenhouse gases(GHG),
water shortage, soil deterioration, natural resource exhaustion, accumulation
of toxic chemical substances, and a reduction in biological diversity.
The Earth Summit 1992 sounded an alarm bell to all over the world as to the
importance of global-scale environmental conservation for human existence.
To cope with the current worrying situation, a series of international pacts
concerning global warming have been concluded among the member countries of
IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and COP. In addition, great
efforts have been made internationally in preserving endangered biological
species, establishing international standards for toxic chemical pollutants
such as dioxins and cadmium, and, consequently, the Convention on Biological
Diversity was also concluded.
East Asian countries, in particular, China, Korea and Japan possess a variety
of agro-environmental problems in common such as emission of GHG from farmland,
effect of elevated CO2 on crop growth, pollution of soils and crops by heavy
metals and dioxins, deterioration of water quality, environmental risk of
invader species, and GMO & GM-crops. The National Institute for Agro-Environmental
Sciences, leading institute of agro-environmental research in Japan has successively
concluded the Memorandums of Understanding with the National Institute of
Agricultural Sciences and Technology of the Rural Development Administration,
Republic of Korea in 2001, and the Institute of Soil Science of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, the People's Republic of China in 2002, in order to beef
up the three parties' research collaboration on the common problems in agro-environments,
and to work out the better solutions collaboratively.
As the first high-profile step of the three parties' research collaboration,
an international workshop on The Material Circulation has planned to share
relevant information regarding agro-environmental problems in East Asia, among
top scientists in China, Korea, and Japan. In this workshop scientists from
the three institutes are to discuss important common issues in agro-environment
in East Asia, and to shoot for feasible and effective schemes of collaborative
research in order to work out the better solutions for the ill-balanced material
cycle in agro-environments and its environmental impact.
This workshop is held at Tsukuba International Congress Center, EPOCHAL TSUKUBA
(Post Address: 2-20-3, Takezono, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-0032, Japan;
