Abstract

Recent agricultural policies have largely been community-based. A farmer in a community has two roles: (1) as an individual and (2) as a member of a social group.<br> In order to promote community-based agricultural policies, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between a farmers’ decision-making process and these two roles. <br>This study examines the case of farmers’ participation in community-based group farming. <br>Farmers decide to participate in community-based group farming on the basis of their subjective evaluation of experience gained by participating in such activities. <br>We classified the experiences that farmers gained by participating in community-based group farming and measured the farmers’ subjective evaluation of each experience. <br>We clarified the differences in the subjective evaluations by individual attributes or community conditions. <br>Furthermore, we examined policies that could be effective in facilitating the formation of groups for community-based group farming. <br>
