      abstract = {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.},
