Proceedings of the 5th African Forum on Synecoculture has been published.
Masatoshi Funabashi published a chapter “Augmentation of Plant Genetic Diversity in Synecoculture: Theory and Practice in Temperate and Tropical Zones” in the book: D. Nandwani (Ed.) Genetic Diversity in Horticultural Plants, Sustainable Development and Biodiversity 22, Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019
This article contains the theoretical foundation and the results of the proof of concept experiments that are essential to establish a novel developmental and legislative framework for the sustainable use of plant genetic resources, overarching the protection of the natural environment and agricultural production mainstreaming biodiversity.
Kousaku Ohta and masa Funabashi wrote a chapter in “New Breeze”, the Quaterly of the ITU Association of Japan (No. 2 Vol. 31 April 2019 Spring) : Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) —Synecoculture—
The Special Issue reprint book “Information Geometry” has been published online, in which Masa Funabashi contributed a chapter: “Network Decomposition and Complexity Measures: An Information Geometrical Approach”.
Masa Funabashi contributed a chapter “Water and Ecosystem Cycles Mediated by Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture” in the book “Genetic Diversity in Plants”.

Masatoshi Funabashi has published a perspective article from Nature Partner Journal Science of Food:
Human augmentation of ecosystems: objectives for food production and science by 2045
This perspective paper defines a novel paradigm, the anthropogenic augmentation of ecosystems, as a solution to health-diet-environment trilemma.
Based on this perspective, FOOD flagship project was established in the UniTwin UNESCO Complex Systems Digital Campus.
From 2020, this e-laboratory changed its name from “Open Systems Exploration for Ecosystems Leveraging” to “Human Augmentation of Ecosystems”, taking the perspective article as the landmark publication of the initial phase in CS-DC.
