Shizuoka Professional University of Agriculture

The agricultural university occupies a campus in Shizuoka Prefecture, offering specialized programs in horticultural, forestry, and livestock farming education.

Founded in 2020, the institution evolved from the Shizuoka Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry College, which had trained agricultural professionals since 1900.

The university follows the principle of Kodo Koshin, teaching students that cultivating land connects directly to personal development and professional growth.

Students participate in extensive internships with agricultural businesses while learning modern farming techniques, processing methods, and distribution strategies.

The institution stands as Japan's first professional university dedicated to agriculture and forestry, combining a four-year program with a separate two-year junior college.
