Abstract
Farm work activities have become active recently and those activities would help understand the situations of agriculture. It will become significant for the people who don't have farm work experiences to understand the linkage between agriculture and the natural resources through farm work activities. What will the farm work activities make the changes to the images of agriculture of the students at university? That is a main question of this paper. According to the results of the questionnaire to the students, it came out that the images formed by indirect information such as beautiful countryside landscape and other positive images to the agriculture were decreased. Instead the images of tough work and feelings for real farm work process were increased after they had experienced farm work activities. And the group with more experiences in natural environment activities in their childhood than the other groups showed highly comprehension of the linkage among agriculture, natural resources and human life. This result suggested that the natural environment activities in a childhood helped them understand that agriculture depended heavily on the natural resources recycling system.
