It is reasonable to assume that community-based group farming is the new direction for regional agriculture. However, the percentage of organizations for community-based group farming is very small (the whole of Japan: 9.0%, Okayama Pref.: 4.1%). In order to sustain regional agriculture, it is necessary to support the establishment of community-based group farming. In this study, we divided the formation process of community-based group farming into four steps and measured the following factors: (1) the “degree of difficulty” in establishing an organization of community-based group farming, (2) the “degree of contribution,” which is the support received from the administrative system, and (3) the “weight” of the support given by the administrative system. We then compared the degree of contribution with the weight. We made clear that refinement of support. Furthermore, we considered an effective policy for the formation process of community-based group farming.
