Abstract
In this report, we clarify the situation and set making of large-scale leased farm land management in a rice field region. The study region is in Niigata Prefecture’s Joetsu City, Sanwa Ward, which is a farmland fluidizing progress region. The results are as follows.
First, the development of large-scale leased land management is ongoing. In addition, the progress of the development of large division field maintenance accelerates farm abandonment, and this movement is strengthening further. However, village farming develops assuming that the large division field maintenance is an opportunity.
Second, large-scale leased land management now exceeds village farming in terms of management area share. On the other hand, village farming is a current maintenance organization. Moreover, the village farming of the dysfunction exists in the inside, too.
Third, the large-scale leased land management leads to a shift to labor saving in agriculture. The phase of the management work and the regional resource management reduce via the large division field maintenance. Also, large-scale leased land management has led to farmland, and in some villages, to farm abandonment.
