The continuity and efficiency of work management of the ridgeways between rice fields have become major issues in Japan. Labor for managing the ridgeways is in short supply, making it necessary to simplify processes, and improve efficiency. Additionally, ridgeways are essential for preserving rural areas and maintaining the landscape; the labor shortage creates problems of maintenance of the area. This study investigated the process of establishing organizations to undertake the management of ridgeways in villages. Consequently, the following three key aspects were identified: 1) Smooth communication between stakeholders, 2) setting of acceptable costs, and 3) improvement of the operation through gradual structuring. Additionally, we found that it was possible to acquire new stakeholders such as non-farmers in the village, thereby making it possible to employ people for maintaining the ridgeways by creating an organization.

Recently, the meaning of the food-agriculture education has been pointed out drawing attention to the education power which agriculture has. An agricultural high school is an educational institution concerned with agriculture. However, its environment is severe. An agricultural high school is the best base facility for food-agriculture education.The followings were pointed out.Firstly, an agricultural high school provides a place for experience study. Secondly, it provides the region with an agricultural technology center and a life study center. Thirdly, it provides a broad network between agricultural high schools. Fourthly, as students are used as assistants, it provides a chance for them to develop their own education skills.

This study addresses pertinent factors in sustaining small-scale water supply cooperatives (SWSCs). Based on our survey results, we identified three important areas to be addressed prior to the construction of water-supply infrastructure: (1) Identify the characteristics of communities to be involved in an SWSC, so that the SWSC can understand the shared interests of prospective members, (2) Identify the experiences of local communities in rule-making, for example, those based on neighborhood associations, and (3) For those communities that cannot fulfill (1) and (2), capacity-building among member residents is necessary, if they are to achieve the public or common interests of members through the enactment of SWSCs.

The main object of this paper is to analyze, being connected with the historical backgrounds and goals of agricultural co-operatives in each period, the historical change of the schemes, which have been mainly proposed by the National Federation of Agricultural Co-operatives (ZENCHU), to promote the amalgamation of agricultural co-opratives.The major results are as follows:(1) The first scheme to promote the amalgamation was established in 1961 by the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (NORINSHOU). The Federation was behind in a responce of this issue.(2) It was in the early 1970's when the Federation had decided to promote the amalgamation at the national level. As a result, many amalgamated agricultural co-operatives, which were expanded in the size of organization and that of activity, had emerged.(3) However, in the latter half of the 1970's, the emphasis moved toward standardizing the size of co-operatives. It was considered that the Federation had to modify the basic direction of activity in accordance with economic growth at a slow speed. Then we observed the stagnant tendancy of the amalgamation.(4) Since the latter half of the 1980's, the Federation has been promoting the amalgamation to deal with new circumstances, which surround co-operatives, for example the severe competition in financial market.(5) According to the historical analysis, we can suggest some important issues of the amalgamation of agricultural co-operatives as follows: 1. the amalgamation maintained and strengthened the organization of co-operatives, 2. the amalgamation issue was placed on the well-established position in connection with various functions of cooperatives, and 3. the amalgamating sheme was equipped with the support by administrative office.

The aim of this paper is to analysis the growth and technological progress of rice production in three northeastern provinces of China, which comprise a major area for the production of Japonica rice, for the period of 1980-1998. Cobb-Douglas production function and other statistical analyses are used for this purpose. The main results are as follows:1) Growth of rice production in the northeastern provinces was contributed to by the spread of cultivating area, and the growth of yield per hectare. In the period analyzed, the former factor was greater than the latter, but was decreasing gradually with time.2) The growth of rice yield per hectare can be explained by the increase of traditional inputs and the technological progress. According to our estimated Cobb-Douglas production function and growth accounting analysis, the contribution of traditional inputs to the growth of yield, such as labor, fertilizer, farm machinery and animal labor, and so on was -18.6%, 30.2%, 21.0% and 8.5% respectively, while the contribution of technological progress, such as HYV and advanced cultivation techniques was 35.4% and 13.4%.3) In the 1990s, HYV adoption reached its peak and then declined, and so did its contribution to the growth of yield. Instead of HYV the adoption of the thinly transplanting technique, which was introduced from Japan, contributed the most (47.3%) among the various forms of input. In the 1980-1998 period, conventional forms of input contributed to the growth of rice yield in those regions by 41.0%, while technological progress contributed by 48.8%.

Cotton plant had made intensive and scultinized land use pattern with main crops in paddy field in Edo era, but the spreading area of that pattern was not so wide. It was capable only under the condition of fertile paddys with draining well. Cotton plant raised on upland was mostly growed under the successive land use pattern.In Meiji era, most of experienced veteran farmers had realized that crops should principally be raised under the proper rotation. However, cotton plant had been recognized exceptionally to be able, furthermore, to be suitable to raise successively, without any rotation.It is regretable that the precious experience of Japanese farmers to raise cotton plant with intensive and scultinized land use pattern had not been utilized to modernization of Japanese farming system since Meiji era.

Agriculture in Northeast Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, and China, has several common characteristics such as small-scale rice farming, and it is important for these countries to jointly establish an international food trade rule which enables their agricultural sustainability in the future against the severe free trade pressure from exporting countries with large-scale farms. Forming a Northeast Asian Free Trade Area is a way to strengthen cooperative relationships among these countries. However, there are still huge differences in agricultural productivity among these countries. Therefore, we should seek possibilities of a common agricultural policy that adjusts imbalance of FTA gains among the countries by creating a common fund collected in proportion to the GDP level of each country just like the EU budget. We proposed a systematic model to examine the feasibility of such programs considering combination of self-sufficiency rate of rice supply, budgetary constraints, reduction limit of rice tariffs, and nitrogen balance.

This study aims to investigate the factors and structures of migrant entrepreneurship clusters and migration in Fukusumi district in Tambasasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture. Currently, an increasing number of people living in urban areas are interested in moving to rural areas. A lot of research has been conducted on entrepreneurship and settlement in these places. However, most of the studies are based on the large-scale industry accumulation and development. Additionally, not many studies have been conducted on comparatively small entrepreneurship in rural areas. Thus, this study investigates the case of Fukusumi, where many rural entrepreneurial activities take place. In addition, Fukusumi has one of the leading rural entrepreneurial clusters. Interview surveys were conducted in order to clarify the structure of ecosystem in Fukusumi. It was found that the people connection network is constructed, encouraging the matching of resources with migrant entrepreneurs.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the change in meat supply after the Russo-Japanese War. The war resulted in the shortage of cattle and increase in its price. The shortage suggests that the limitation of meat supply depended on the existence of cattle not only for meat but also (and mainly) for farming. The solution was found in importing meat from Australia and cattle from the Korean peninsula and supplementing the lack of beef with pork. The import of meat from Australia failed because of the immaturity of refrigerating and freezing tecniques. The import of cattle from the Korean peninsula involved the problem of rinderpest, but it did have two advantages. The first was the high evaluation that these cattle received as farming cattle. The second was that the quality of meat improved during the period they were kept as farming cattle.

It has recently become considered to be both educational and essential for children to experience certain aspects of agricultural work. Actually such programs, especially in primary schools, have been gradually increasing in number in various places in Japan.The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of emotion and interest of agricultural experience for children. This study focuses on how the different locales influence the effects of agricultural experience on emotion and interest of children, from case studies of three urban primary schools which are located in typical locales of agricultural experience. I carried out my research by hearing investigation and by participant observation to examine the actual contents of those cases, and questionnaire surveys for urban schoolchildren to quantitatively analyze the effects of emotion and interest of agricultural experience.The conclusions are as follows:1. As a result of analysis of quantification theory type II, the effects are influenced by the places where children experienced agricultural work.2. Agricultural experience in a “suburb area” had positive effects on “powers of observation and scientific knowledge about nature and creatures”, and “understanding about agriculture and rural area”. On the other hand, agricultural experience in a “rural area” had positive effects on “stability of emotion” and “intention to live in a rural area”, and agricultural experience in an “urban area” had positive effects on “activeness and independence”.3. These differences come from the individual contents, which the different locales of agricultural experience have, especially such as quantity, frequency, and length of agricultural experience, according to hearing investigation and participant observation.4. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the place and contents of agricultural experience accordingly to the expected effects. From this study, for example, if you aim to make children more emotionally stable, the program of agricultural experience in a rural area is more effective.

In this study, a nationwide survey of standard yield values stipulating a subsidy system for quantity payments for feed rice and rice flour, has been conducted. There are three main findings. First, 61% of the regional agricultural revitalization councils have standardized the standard yields in their respective regions, with an average value of 513.3 kg/10 a. Second, in some regions standard yield values have been set to multiple types, depending on local conditions. Third, a case study has revealed a regional approach to setting multiple standard yields, replacing the previous efforts of rice production adjustment.

Fifty years have passed since the start of the land reform, which was aimed at creating owner-farmers. After the reform, about 90% of agricultural land was owned by farmers, while farm-sizes remained same or rather smaller compared with these before the reform.To preserve the results of the reform, Agricultural Land Law was enacted in 1952, establishing systematic control over transfer of rights, alteration, ownership of leased land, owner-tenant relations and farm rents of agricultural land. From 1962 to 1993, legal system for agricultural land has remarkably changed. In order to promote leasing of agricultural land, control over owner-tenant relations and farm rents was relaxed, and a new system for promoting fixed-term lease and other transfer of rights was introduced.Meanwhile, a large part of owner-farmers sold or leased all or most of their land because of their old age or getting other jobs. The other part of owner-farmers enlarged their farm-sizes mainly by leasing land thus delivered. These changes, especially progress of land lease, have been accelarated by legislations and village movements, as needed for amelioration of farm structures.Today, legal system for agricultural land sets the conditons for enlargement of farm-sizes by people engaged in farming works, permitting acquisition or taking on lease only to such people or coporations managed mainly by such people.
