This is the first book to focus on farm and rural community
management in less favored areas of Japan. It provides an economic
framework for, and empirical findings on, rural community
management in terms of the distribution of rural resources,
efficiency of farmland conservation, community development through
agribusinesses, and utilization of human resources for the
sustainability of rural society. The topics addressed include
organic farming, the added value of locally processed foods,
broad-based community agreement under a direct payment policy,
forms of community vitalization, new farmers, farm diversification,
redistribution of local resources among farmers by establishing
farm organizations, community business, community hubs formed by
multiple communities, and stakeholders who have migrated from urban
to rural areas.The book is divided into four parts. Part I examines
the relationship between regional agriculture and the conservation
of farmland, including in hilly and mountainous areas. Part II
deals with the improvement of farm resource management,
particularly the redistribution of agricultural resources within
multiple communities. In turn, Part III focuses on agribusinesses,
especially the production of locally processed foods and community
business. Lastly, Part IV addresses the sustainability of rural
society, and discusses rural community development through
community hubs, community-based rural tourism, and immigrated
stakeholders. In each part, the peculiarities and commonalities of
rural communities are explored by comparing the results of these
studies with domestic and international studies.This book is highly
recommended to readers who are concerned with the development of
agriculture and community, resource conservation in less favored
areas, and the theoretical and empirical aspects of agricultural
and resource economics, as well as to those who wish to better
understand rural communities in Japan.
