<p>In Japan, the subjects of agricultural policy changed from individual farmers to management bodies satisfying certain requirements in the mid-2000s. As a result, the establishment of community farming organizations is expanding nationwide. This paper aims to clarify the deployment of community farming organizations and their significance for regional farming. The case study area selected is Sanwa Ward in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture.</p><p>Sanwa Ward is located in the flat lands of Joetsu City. Farmland consolidation was carried out in the 1990s, and the expansion of management scale of the individual farmer has progressed. In addition, community farming organizations have been established in accordance with the completion of farm land consolidation.</p><p>In the Kubo settlement in Sanwa Ward, individual farmers were involved in agricultural production until the 1980s. However, it was difficult to maintain agricultural production in this settlement owing to the aging of farmers and an increase in part-time farmers. As a result, in the early 1990s, some farmers voluntarily established an organization for the joint use of machinery. Then in 2003, based on the earlier organization, they established the agricultural cooperative Corporation G. Most of the farmers in Kubo settlement are now participating in Corporation G, and because of this the principal actor involved in agricultural production in this settlement changed from individual farmers to this cooperative. In addition, the cooperative has been entrusted with production operations on farmland in neighboring settlements, and has been interacting with consumers as well as part of securing channels for sales. Through these activities, the corporation plays a distinct role in the maintenance of regional farming.</p><p>In order to maintain future cooperative activity, it is necessary to make an effort to increase revenues. However, there are differences in motivation among the members of the cooperative, and in managing the farmland new problems have arisen. In addition, since the members who established the cooperative are getting older, it is necessary to ensure that there are enough members to take on the activities of the cooperative.</p>
