Kagawa University Agriculture

The University Farm is located about 6 km away from the the Faculty of Agriculture. Students can experience practice agricultural activities such as crop farming, livestock feeding, and green-house culturing.

The University Farm is also used for agricultural research. One notable success of the University Farm is the unique research activity to breed a new grape for wine. Professor Ryosuke Mochioka is the lead researcher for this project. A Japanese wild grape was crossed with a high-quality edible grape of European origin (‘Muscat of Alexandria’), and then a new line was selected from the progeny. The selected line is well adapted to hot and humid climate of Kagawa area and is promising for high-quality red wine production.
