    This study aims to evaluate the agricultural reliance on insect pollination in Japan. Pollination services, especially bees, are vital ecosystem services for agricultural productivity, so recent declines in pollinators triggered the circulation of monetary valuation of pollination services. We measured the welfare loss in each crop category taking into account the response of the consumers, and we found that the contribution of insect pollination to the production of apples, melons, and Japanese pears, which were the top three crops, were 98.5 billion, 48.9 billion, and 35.8 billion JPY, respectively.

    This study evaluates the impact of special agricultural zones for farmland leases on regional agriculture using the difference-indifferences method with propensity score matching. The special agricultural zones were introduced in 2002 to allow nonagricultural business organizations to enter agricultural production with an aim to alleviate the increasing abandonment of cultivated lands and boost the number of farm households. The results show that the entry of nonagricultural business organizations has statistically significant effects on altering the recent trend in abandoned cultivated lands and the number of farm households at the municipal level.

    In “Disappearing Localities”, Masuda raised an alarm that 523 local municipalities in Japan are most likely to disappear by 2040 due to the declining population. However, the study seemingly overlooked the phenomenon of reverse migration to rural areas. This process, known as “dis-urbanization”, has recently been widely discussed, but barely researched from a viewpoint of lifestyle migration. This study attempted to identify the motives and factors affecting migration to two neighboring towns of Hokkaido, Kiyosato and Koshimizu, both of which were listed under the 523 local municipalities highly likely to disappear.

    This study aims to elucidate the development of the use of rice as feed. It estimates a production promotion policy for using rice as feed in terms of political demand in Japan. The main results are as follows. First, the supply and demand structure for Japanese rice has a peculiar character in the Asian region. Second, a system of rice defines the use of rice as feed in terms of political demand. These results indicate that it is necessary for states to contribute toward rice used as feed according to the reorganization of the entire food system of rice.

    This research aims to explore the guiding principles and characteristics of farm establishment under the Internal Colonization Policy. It primarily analyses the Schleswig-Holstein Agricultural Bank's achievement reports; the Bank is a public colonisation venture (gemeinnützige Siedlungsunternehmungen) that was started under this policy in Weimar Republic Germany.
    Previous research on the Internal Colonization Policy has primarily focused on comprehensive systems, such as statistics and legislation, leading to policy implementation; however, the public colonisation ventures implemented by the policy have not been sufficiently examined. This paper discusses previously unexplored characteristics of farm establishment under the Internal Colonization Policy by examining several distribution maps that show the result of farm establishment in the region.
