担い手政策の展開と当面の課題

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the transitions of the institutional policies for farm management after World War II, and point out the present issues of those policies concerning agriculture based on land use. We look back the institutional policies for farm management dividing into four periods; i.e., 1) during the 1950's through 1960's; 2) during the 1970's; 3) during the 1980's; and 4) the recent period under the "new agricultural policy" from 1993. As concerns the first period, owner-farmer, viable farm, agricultural producers' co-operative corporation, and agricultural production legal person are examined. The second period, tenant-farmer, core farm household (farm household which has core male regular farm worker engaged in it's farming), revised agricultural producers' co-operative corporation, revised agricultural production legal person, and collective production organization are examined. The third period, collective production organization especially based on agricultural land combination is examined. And the fourth period, the new institutional policies for farm management based on land use under the "new agricultural policy" from 1993 are examined. We show three issues of the recent institutional policies for farm management in agriculture based on land use; i.e., 1) developing new ideas of individual farm management ; 2) the recognition system for farm management ; and 3) understanding the agricultural production legal person.
