Klappentext zu „Agritech: Innovative Agriculture Using Microwaves and Plasmas “
This book describes innovative agricultural methods using thermal and non-thermal microwave or plasma energies. Humans that were nomadic in the past can now stably obtain food by developing agriculture. Cities were formed as a result of remarkable development. Later, chemicals were introduced to agriculture to stabilize the food supply further. Natural products were initially used, but various artificial compounds have been developed for agriculture since the 1900s. To further improve crop productivity and diversification, gene recombination (genetic engineering) using biotechnology has progressed in recent years and continues to develop further. However, these technologies contain pesticide residues and pose safety risks. The innovative new agriculture explained in this book is based on the use of microwaves and plasma that do not rely on chemicals and genetic modification.
This is one of the first books focusing on the agricultural usage of microwaves. In addition, it is a technical book that incorporates plasma into agriculture from this perspective. The book covers microwaves and plasmas, which are completely different fields. Thus, it will be attractive to many readers who want to acquaint themselves with these alternative technologies and implement them. This book will be useful to a broad audience including researchers and technicians at Universities and practitioners in industries. It is made accessible to readers across different fields by including abundant figures and by limiting the use of equations to the possible extent.

Autoren-Porträt
Professor Satoshi Horikoshi Sophia University, Department of Materials and Life Sciences, horikosi@sophia.ac.jp
Satoshi Horikoshi received his PhD degree in 1999, and was subsequently a postdoctoral researcher at the Frontier Research Center for the Global Environment Science in Meisei University (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) until 2006. He joined Sophia University as Assistant Professor in 2006, and then moved to Tokyo University of Science as Associate Professor in 2008, after which he returned to Sophia University as Associate Professor in 2011 and was made Professor in 2020. Currently he is on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Microwave Power and Electromagnetic Energy, Molecules and three other international journals. His research interests involve new functional materials, nanomaterial synthesis, molecular biology, formation of sustainable energy, rubber and plastic recycling, in-liquid plasma chemical synthesis and environmental protection using microwave- and/or photo-energy. He has co-authored over 200 scientific publications and has contributed to and edited or co-authored 30 books. He frequently explains the role of microwaves on television and in newspapers.

Graham Brodie was awarded his Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1981 and worked in the electrical power industry for some time. In 1997, he joined the Agricultural Department of The University of Melbourne and, after teaching engineering principles to agricultural students for several years, he earned his PhD in 2005. Currently, he is on the Board of Governors for the International Microwave Power Institute; he is on the Research Advisory Board for Chitkara University, Punjab, India; he is an editor with De Gruyter Open; and is the chairman of the Australian Industrial Radio Frequency and Microwave Applications Group. His research interests include using microwave generated plasma to study surface sterilisation of materials and agricultural commodities; microwave heating of biomaterials and soil; microwave pyrolysis of plastic and bio-wastes; using microwaves holography for sensing objects in soil and built environments; improving water use efficiency in agriculture; producing and using renewable energy on farms; on-farm animal waste management; and applications of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing technologies in agriculture and archaeology.
Professor Koichi Takaki
Iwate University, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Agri-Innovation Center, takaki@iwate-u.ac.jp
Koichi Takaki received the B. Eng., M. Eng. And Dr. Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from Kumamoto University, Japan, in 1986, 1988 and 1995, respectively. He joined Oita National College of Technology as a research associate in 1989 and was made an assistant professor in 1993. He moved to the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Iwate University as a research associate in 1996 and was an associate professor from 2000. During 2000-2001, he was a visiting scientist at the McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. After that, he was made Professor of Iwate University in 2011. Currently he is also a Vice-Director of Agri-Innovation Center, Iwate University, and a senior member of IEEE. He received Prizes for Science and Technology in the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in April 2016. He frequently explains the role of high-voltage technologies, general sciences, and electrostatic phenomena on thirty-four T
