In the USA, farm and forest land ownership by aliens must be reported to the federal government. In some states, the restrictions are stricter than in others. By analyzing the code of each state, this study reveals that these states control aliens’ land ownership by limiting their acreage, confining the eligibility of business entities, or checking the citizenship of landowners and that some states prohibit the ownership of public land by aliens. Therefore, most of the farmland in the Midwest and the western states is protected from alien ownership.In the USA, land ownership by aliens is observed mainly on forest land.In order to achieve the proper use of farm and forest land, Japan should replicate the US land management system that controls alien land ownership. One important implication is that farm and forest land should be controlled integrally, not separately.

This study examines home living improvements in postwar Okinawa, focusing on the movement for the abolition of Senkotsu (cleansing remains) and the establishment of crematories. Women’s associations in Okinawa initiated the home living improvement before the government provided official extension services for it. As part of the home living improvement, the Kizyoka Women’s Association (KWA) in Ohgimi village started the movement. Senkotsu was very hard and painful for women, so the KWA proceeded with the movement, and finally a crematory was built. Meanwhile, the movement also spread to other villages. The government began to provide extension services for home living improvement, and home advisors sent to various areas supported the movement of women’s associations.

Although qualitative research contains a broad range of possibilities for theorization, there is no common standard to measure the degree of achievement of papers. By contrast, quantitative studies have shared methodology for statistics and numerical results that enable easier comparison between papers. In my experience reviewing submitted qualitative research papers, the important points are to set up the theoretical framework that illustrates the relationships among the introduced concepts at the beginning, to include a clear research question, to deploy a relevant empirical case study or studies, to interpret them through the use of the concepts initially introduced, and to identify new implications for future research. The paper must be equipped with several sorts of validities and, in some instances, causality as well. Social science studies of agriculture and forestry have a mission to solve the many real challenges, which is inherent in applied sciences. In this sense, the method of action research is required in the qualitative research of our field under the current conditions of rural degradation of agricultural production and local societies. Despite the difficulties posed by the new research method like action research, qualitative research can provide valuable perspectives and benefits for designing agriculture and forestry of the future.

In this study, we estimate the potential electricity volume and solar photovoltaic power generation profitability using abandoned agricultural land in Hokkaido. We assume the introduction of photovoltaic power generation facilities on all abandoned agricultural land in Hokkaido and perform the cost-benefit analysis of the investment for solar photovoltaic power generation facilities under the feed-in tariff scheme. The results show that the return of investment for solar photovoltaic power generation facilities was higher than the total investment cost.

The nutrition status in early childhood affects child’s healthy development and acquisition of education and human capital, and health status and productivity in adulthood. The objective of this study is to explore the long-term impact of (childhood) nutrition status on the current BMI (Body Mass Index) and education of individuals, by focusing on rural Cambodia. From the estimation results of longitudinal data analysis, I found that the past nutrition status, measured by height for age and weight for age z-scores, is positively associated with the current nutrition status. In addition, children who have had better nutrition are more likely to have a higher number of years of schooling.

The paper discusses how genetically-modified (GM) seeds containing patents affect benefits for bio-majors (large seed corporations) and farmers based on interviews with actors in the GM seed supply system. The first analysis indicated the importance of the patents system for bio-majors to recover investments when farmers replant bio-majors’ seeds. The second analysis, based on a field study, revealed that seed suppliers in the GM seed system can enhance the benefits for bio-majors and of farmers who purchase GM seeds in the market. In conclusion, the role of seed dealers is indispensable in achieving the optimum resource allocation, to maintain the beneficial patent system for bio-majors and farmers.

We examine the tariff equivalent estimates of technical barriers to trade (TBTs) in the case of Japan's phytosanitary measures against fire blight in connection with apple imports. We construct a confidence interval for the tariff equivalent estimates of the TBTs using the Yue, Beghin, and Jensen (2006) model. The results show that the tariff equivalent estimates of TBTs are not statistically different from zero.

This study aims to determine trends in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) engaged in rural activities. By interviewing the members of six NPOs in Suzu city, Ishikawa prefecture, and analyzing their financial data, this paper examines the factors related to the sustainability of these NPOs’activities. The results showed that certain activists concurrently served as board members of multiple NPOs. Moreover, the government’s employment-boosting program played an important part in providing financial support to some NPOs.

The Movement for Rural Reconstruction (Nosan-Gyoson-Keizai-Kosei-Undo) was carried out to uplift Japanese rural areas impoverished by the Showa Depression. The main rural executive organizations involved in the movement were agricultural execution associations. This study examines the activities of agricultural execution associations by focusing on Kakinoki Village in Shimane Prefecture. Agricultural execution associations were organized in each hamlet, and various plans were made to improve agricultural production and home living. In particular, the organizations worked on punctuality, tax payments, and savings. Kakinoki’s movement improved agricultural production and home living, and strengthened solidarity among rural residents. It also provided women with opportunities for public participation. This was a consequence of a movement based on subsistence agriculture.

This study examined the policies and development concerning women’s education in occupied Japan (1945–1952), particularly Shimane Prefecture. The Ministry of Education had developed a plan to cultivate voluntary women’s groups. However, because the plan made it possible to use existing groups, it was withdrawn by the Civil Information and Education Section (CIE). CIE insisted that women’s groups should be composed entirely of volunteers. Based on the policies of the Ministry of Education and CIE, Shimane Prefecture encouraged the formation of voluntary women’s groups. However, in fact, it did so by using existing women’s associations to promote women’s education. The reasons for the responses were the connection between the Ministry of Education and Shimane Prefecture, the feudal character of rural society, and the existence of the Chugoku Civil Affairs Region. As women’s education developed in Shimane Prefecture, women gradually began acting with voluntary consciousness.

With the progress of the aging society, how to maintain the daily shopping environment for the elderly has attracted growing attention from a perspective toward life in good health. Thus, this study investigated the life satisfaction of the elderly living in Tama Newtown, Tokyo, which is one of the rapidly aging local communities in urban areas, by focusing on the daily shopping environment. For this purpose, the study applied a two-stage estimation model that first determined the shopping satisfaction and then the life satisfaction of the elderly based on data obtained from a questionnaire survey. The result of the model estimation revealed that shopping satisfaction was positively related to the life satisfaction of the elderly, and that economic factors, infrastructure, and daily life factors are important for the enhancement of their life satisfaction.

Based on the recognition that the current dominant trade never alleviates the poverty of small producers in developing countries, fair trade (FT) which intends to support producers has been developed.Though some recent studies have gone into a discussion of methods to evaluate FT by the absolute criteria of 'fairness', this study attempts to relatively evaluate whether or not FT can improve 'unfairness' of the current dominant trade, which will be clarified by this paper.As far as primary commodities are concerned, theoretical studies on the 'unfairness' of the trade date from the theory of the North-South problem in the 1960s. This paper is written with the aim of advancing a framework for analysis of unfair trade of primary commodities produced in developing countries by adoption of various theories such as the North-South problem, the World-System, the Food-System and the pricing mechanism for agricultural products. What is more, a part of results of the case study (Tanzanian coffee) from within the framework and an evaluation example of FT will be shown.
