　　　Under the Land Reform after WW Ⅱ in Japan, rural policy on farmers' families to be expected as independent farmers groups, however, which was focused on agricultural mechanization with farmland expansion more than sustainable management such as building up networks with consumer cooperatives for food safety and making plans as local production for local consumption.
　　　Basically democratization cannot be developed sustainably and autonomously without the increase of the subjects responsible for democratization to try new lifestyles following three points;（1）the realization of a full-scale revision of the Agricultural Land Act to make it possible to engage in agriculture as a career choice for any people;（2）he generational change and the employment of women through family management agreements. As for the efforts to improve, we will make it possible to secure an appropriate position as an employee when we acquire corporate status;（3）As a role of a social welfare corporation that guarantees employment opportunities for those who want to work with disabilities and hikikomori who would like to jobs as decent work, and we will strengthen cooperation between agriculture and welfare as well as intermediates for cooperation between agriculture and welfare, looking forward to an opportunity on the need for support organizations.
