It has been 50 years since the Tropical Agriculture Research Center (TARC), the predecessor of  the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), was established in 1970. At this turning point, we have published a commemorative magazine of our 50th foundation anniversary in order to summarize the history of organizational changes and activities so far as we aim to further leap toward a new era.

The commemorative magazine is available for download here.
