As global population growth and ecological collapse proceed irreversibly, it is necessary to reduce food loss without wasting unused resources, to develop foods that predict and prevent diseases and extend healthy life spans based on next-generation nutrition, and to develop high-quality feeds for resource animals, all of which are essential innovations for future society.

Prof. Takahashi advocates the creation of a system for the entire food industry that encompasses machine learning, collection and analysis of various types of data, agricultural science, mathematical engineering, nutrition, health medicine, and related technologies.
