Today's general interest in horticulture with respect to "Food", "Health", "Dietary education" and "Horticultural education" is growing far more dramatically than ever before in the company's 94 year history, also agricultural itself has been swayed by globalization. From geo-environmental point of view, there is a growing concern for population-food problems, global warming and bio-fuel development, desertification and water depletion... all of which could affect the fate of mankind.
