Abstract
The purpose of this study is to expand the outlook of new business areas in regional cooperation or ganization that consist of multiple community farming organizations. Our main analytical method made use of questionnaires and interviews with key persons of an organization in Shimane prefecture. Three main findings were derived. First, this organization was able to share its human resources and assets; this made it possible to develop new areas of business, such as business community contributions. Second, this organization is expected to employ young people. Third, this organization can solve problems that cannot normally be solved by a single organization. This organization can be considered a model that creates a multi-industry economy in rural society.
