With increasing research in agricultural science such research is being increasingly factionalized, and specialized research themes are being developed. To reintegrate the findings of these factionalized research fields and to create new integrated research, The System Agriculture Society was established in 1984. In October 2016, a commemorative conference was held at the University of Tokyo Campus with the theme 'Looking back at the past 30 years and planning the next 10 years'. I reviewed the last 30 years and discussed the future activities of The System Agriculture Society from the following perspectives: (1) how has/will The System Agriculture Society contributed/contribute to scientific developments, including separate specialized science fields? (2) How has/will The System Agriculture Society contributed/contribute to international and/or domestic agricultural theories and technologies? (3) How has/will The System Agriculture Society affected/affect the agricultural policies of national and local governments? This paper summarizes my opinions on these issues.
