While it is possible to produce crops with high market demand using differences in climatic zones—cultivated products varying regionally—, the cultivation system in each location is unique. In addition, there is a paucity of basic academic knowledge to facilitate improvements in agricultural productivity. In order to promote regional agriculture, it is essential to gather technologies and knowledge from universities, national and prefectural research institutions, and private companies, to work together to solve the problems and meet the needs of local producers. It is also crucial to develop leaders to promote regional agriculture development. Therefore, the University of the Ryukyus has established the Okinawa Crop Protection Network, to share information on agricultural issues among industry, academia, and the private sector. The aim is to build a collaborative research network that contributes to regional development, and to use this network as a basis for human resource development to groom local leaders. This paper describes the history and future prospects of this vital network, 紀要論文}, pages = {71--79}, title = {地域農業振興における人材育成に貢献する沖縄作物保護ネットワーク}, year = {2019} }
