A new relationship model of agriculture based on urban residents' current involvement and future interest

Focusing on major 3 suburban river basins in Fukuoka Prefecture

Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing involvement of urban residents in agriculture, there has been more flexibility in the forms of involvement in agriculture and farmland, and more attention has been paid to urban-rural interactions and related populations. As urban residents' involvement in agriculture has become more flexible and diverse, a new and more dynamic planning theory of agriculture is required to address the various intermediary relationships between urban and rural areas. This study adopts a step-by-step approach to analyze the related population to evaluate the possibility of urban residents' participation in agriculture based on their current level of involvement and future level of interest in agriculture. The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the nature of the relationship (relationship model) between urban residents and agriculture.
