Bio Tech a. Current biotechnology industry can be broken down into three areas: agriculture, medical and chemicals, and the one area Toyota is now focusing on is agricultural biotechnology. The reasons why Toyota has decided to focus on this particular area are: b. c. An increase in world population, mainly in Asia An increase in the amount of food consumption per person due to a rise in the income level d. A decrease in farm and forest areas due to industrialization and urbanization, and food and water shortages due to an increase in water consumption and worsening of the global environment. e. In order to contribute to the mitigation of such problems and to establish a profitable business, Toyota established the Biotechnology and Afforestation Business Department and began research and development in January 1998. And in May 1999, the Toyota Biotechnology and Afforestation Laboratory was established to layout the framework for research and development in the

Afforestation
Amid a growing sense of crisis regarding the global
environment, Toyota established Australian Afforestation Pty. Ltd. in August 1998 in order to alleviate the pulp shortage that had resulted from the restriction placed on felling natural forests and to contribute to the resolution of the environmental issue concerning how to absorb a greater amount of CO2. The company has completed the planting of 1,763ha of eucalyptus trees in the states of Western Australia and South Australia to be sold as pulp material, and the business is steadily growing.

Floriculture Business
In order to enter the growing floriculture
business, in 1999, Toyota established Toyota Floritech Co., Ltd. with Hakusan Co.,Ltd., a seeds and seedlings import company, and began full-scale operation.The company's large greenhouse for potted flowers, which is equipped with a highly automated cultivation systems, is one of the largest in Asia, measuring 88 by 231 meters. The company is taking advantage of a climate which surpasses even that of countries like Denmark or Holland, where the flower business flourishes, to produce various types of flowers and sell approximately four millions of mini potted flowers and ornamental plants per year. 11.

The loss of vegetation in urban areas has resulted in serious
problems such as the heat-island effect, air pollution, drought, and flooding. Due to difficulties in the greenification of urban areas at the ground level, a lot of attention has been focused on ways of greening buildings. By adding greenery to the enormous areas made up of city building rooftops and walls, it is possible to greatly contribute to the improvement of the urban environment. Toyota established the Toyota Roof Garden Corporation in December 2001 as part of an effort to achieve sustainable urban greenification by making buildings greener and developing trees that improve the environment by utilizing both engineering technologies (e.g., simulation technology) and natural science technologies, which improve the innate ability of plants to purify the air as well as enhance positive climatic effects through transpiration and providing shade .

Livestock Biomass business
a. Domestic Japan total amount of livestock discharge (manure) in Japan is approximately 89million MT. This huge amount of waste causes bad influences on the environment such as offensive odors and groundwater pollution. Also, it became a legal requirement that livestock farmers must properly dispose the discharges, by the enforcement of ³Act on the Appropriate Treatment and Promotion of Utilization of Livestock Manure´ which took effect in November, 2004. The Open-air piling and the burying discharges became prohibited. This gives the livestock farmers very heavy burden.
b. To cope with the problems relating to livestock discharges, Toyota has developed environmentally friendly quick composting system ³resQ45´ through the collaboration with Menicon Corporation. Toyota Roof Garden, one of TMC¶s subsidiary companies, is in charge of the production and sales of ³resQ45´. Through the network of Toyota Tsusho Corporation¶s Livestock food sales business, the sales activity had started from July, 2006.

c.
As with conventional composting, livestock manure example has
spontaneous fermentation mainly introduced, using sawdust as the moisture conditioner. It takes long term (90-180 days) to properly compost the manure, especially for the decomposition of the cellulose which is contained in the moisture conditioner. We developed the new system of composting ³resQ45´, by applying Menicon¶s technology of the enzyme and the thermophile, as well as utilizing the know-how for the fermentation obtained through field tests. This system consists of two items, ³TokubetsuKyuko´ the enzyme which promotes the composting and ³Thermo-master´ the This system can shorten the composting thermophile. term greatly (90-
d.
180days
45days). Also, according to Menicon¶s research, this system can
reduce offensive odors, as well as greenhouse gas such as Nitrous oxide(N2O), methane gas(CH4) and nitrate nitrogen(NO3 N ) .This system can be also effective for the disposal of poultry and swine. This system is highly regarded among many livestock farmers.

Aerospace Toyota is a minority shareholder in Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, having invested US$67.2 million in the new venture which will produce the Mitsubishi Regional Jet, slated for first deliveries in 2013.[76] Toyota has also studied participation in the general aviation market and contracted with Scaled Composites to produce a proof-of-concept aircraft, the TAA-1 in 2002.[77]
18. Higher education Toyota established the Toyota Technological Institute in 1981, as Sakichi Toyoda had planned to establish a university as soon as he and Toyota became successful. Toyota Technological Institute founded the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago in 2003. Toyota is supporter of the "Toyota Driving Expectations Program," "Toyota Youth for Understanding Summer Exchange Scholarship Program," "Toyota International Teacher Program," "Toyota TAPESTRY," "Toyota Community Scholars" (scholarship for high school students), "United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Internship Program," and "Toyota Funded Scholarship."[79] It has contributed to a number of local education and scholarship programs for the University of Kentucky, Indiana, and others.[79] 19. Robotics (Toyota Partner Robot)
In 2004, Toyota showcased its trumpet-playing robot.[80] Toyota has been developing multitask robots destined for elderly care, manufacturing, and entertainment. A specific example of Toyota's involvement in robotics for the elderly is the Brain
13 Machine Interface. Designed for use with wheelchairs, it "allows a person to control an electric wheelchair accurately, almost in real-time", with his mind.[81] The thought controls allow the wheelchair to go left, right and forward with a delay between thought and movement of just 125 milliseconds

a. Domestic Japan total amount of livestock discharge (manure) in Japan is approximately 89million MT. This huge amount of waste causes bad influences on the environment such as offensive odors and groundwater pollution. Also, it became a legal requirement that livestock farmers must properly dispose the discharges, by the enforcement of ³Act on the Appropriate Treatment and Promotion of Utilization of Livestock Manure´ which took effect in November, 2004. The Open-air piling and the burying discharges became prohibited. This gives the livestock farmers very heavy burden.
b. To cope with the problems relating to livestock discharges, Toyota has developed environmentally friendly quick composting system ³resQ45´ through the collaboration with Menicon Corporation. Toyota Roof Garden, one of TMC¶s subsidiary companies, is in charge of the production and sales of ³resQ45´. Through the network of Toyota Tsusho Corporation¶s Livestock food sales business, the sales activity had started from July, 2006.

As with conventional composting, livestock manure example has
spontaneous fermentation mainly introduced, using sawdust as the moisture conditioner. It takes long term (90-180 days) to properly compost the manure, especially for the decomposition of the cellulose which is contained in the moisture conditioner. We developed the new system of composting ³resQ45´, by applying Menicon¶s technology of the enzyme and the thermophile, as well as utilizing the know-how for the fermentation obtained through field tests. This system consists of two items, ³TokubetsuKyuko´ the enzyme which promotes the composting and ³Thermo-master´ the This system can shorten the composting thermophile. term greatly (90-

reduce offensive odors, as well as greenhouse gas such as Nitrous oxide(N2O), methane gas(CH4) and nitrate nitrogen(NO3 N ) .This system can be also effective for the disposal of poultry and swine. This system is highly regarded among many livestock farmers.
