This study pursued the development of an on-farm experiential learning program through an empirical study of an agricultural educational program in Kobe University. The study was undertaken for two purposes. One was to show the management factors that are essential for operating an on-farm experiential learning program. The choice of educational sites, traffic access, team separation, and time management of farming activities were the main concerns. The other purpose was to show the essential factors of program planning through an analysis of the learning process. The study results showed that an on-farm experiential learning program should include activities such as village roaming, biological surveys, sequential experience from food production to sales, and communication between farmers and students.
