In Japan, agricultural structure changes have highlighted the need for diverse community involvement in managing local agricultural resources, particularly from non-farming elderly residents in an aging society. While research has explored resource management efforts and participant attributes, little is known about their earnings from carrying out local agricultural resource management. This study examines Organization X in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, which manages agricultural resources and employs elderly residents. Organization X pays an annual wage of approximately ¥200,000, about 10% of the average annual pension. The study found that local agricultural resource management can be an opportunity to earn additional income.
