Abstract
This paper describes how important agricultural villages are to maintain and manage Japanese land. We discuss village farming not only as an agricultural production system in a village, but also as a system to maintain and manage national land. We consider that it is indispensable to establish a voluntary body for managing village farming and make a land use planning as a base of village farming. As a case study, we investigate an agricultural village of Gamou-chou, Gamou-gun in Shiga prefecture, where a land use planning was settled and land consolidation has been executed. During land consolidation, a village farming has emerged. We clarify that the existence of the land use planning and the formation of the voluntary body composed by young farmers are most significant to make the village farming available for maintaining and managing national land
