On Wednesday, April 26, 2017, Ishizaka Gijuku held a special open lecture on the theme, “What is soil?”

Date and time: Wednesday, April 26th, 18:15-19:45
Speaker: Agricultural consultant Yuji Seki

The term “soil” is often used to refer to a variety of different soils, with differences in climate and geological strata depending on the land. This makes soil seem elusive, but by actually touching the soil, you can determine its characteristics and how to use it.

On the day, we were taught about chemical approaches to soil in an easy-to-understand explanation, even for those without prior knowledge.

Yuji Seki (Agricultural Consultant)

He came into contact with practical soil science at Tokyo University of Agriculture. He keenly felt the lack of knowledge about soil and fertilizer in actual agricultural fields, and began working as an agricultural consultant in 1984 to impart practical agricultural techniques from the private sector. He currently provides technical guidance to farmers, food manufacturers, material manufacturers, etc. both in Japan and overseas. His main works include “Comfortable Soil.”
