The Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) has developed a compilation of applicable technologies which were developed in Japan or through international collaboration over the past 10 years and are expected to contribute to the establishment of sustainable food systems in the Asia-Monsoon region. The catalog serves as a reference to various stakeholders in the Asia-Monsoon region, including government officials, researchers, extension officers, producers, and the private sector. JIRCAS expects to add more technologies in the future, including results from forestry and fisheries research, and newly developed technologies.
