I am an environmental and experimental economist, doing research on agriculture, climate change, development and sustainability. I mainly employ an experimental approach for establishing how humans, organizations and societies can be transformed to be self-fulfilling and sustainable as well as to expand future possibilities through a new academic field of ``future design.’’ Therefore, I have been a director of Research Institute for Future Design at Kochi University of Technology as well. My research projects have been conducted in many fields of Japan, Asia and Africa and published as academic journal articles in economics, future studies and sustainability science.
