This is the first book to comprehensively analyze key issues
regarding innovation, entrepreneurship, and human resource
development in the Japanese agricultural sector. Despite the fact
that innovation and entrepreneurship are vital to the development
of modern Japanese agriculture, there have been comparatively few
studies in this field; in addition, they have been virtually none
on measures for developing entrepreneurial human resources or
innovation in agriculture. The agricultural sector's declining
competitiveness and sustainability as an industry in Japan are
serious concerns, especially in combination with an aging labor
force and decreasing farmland. To date, Japanese agricultural
policies have largely concentrated on accumulating farmland and
securing a sufficient agricultural labor force. However, from the
perspectives of industrial and regional development, policies
focusing on creating innovation, the driving force of economic
development, have been recognized as being more effective.
Moreover, there have been some recent developments concerning
innovation and entrepreneurship in various regions of Japan. This
book provides a wealth of significant findings from studies on
successful cases involving e.g. agricultural clusters,
agriculture-commerce-industry collaborations, networking,
franchising, and corporate entry-induced innovation utilizing
limited regional resources; and how they have contributed to the
development of each region. The interrelationships between
innovation, entrepreneurship, and human resource development are
then clarified, and effective policies to promote Japanese
agriculture and rural areas are suggested. Given its scope, the
book contributes to the advancement not only of farm management
science, but also of regional science and related fields.
