説明

In U.S. agriculture, structural changes, such as concentration, vertical coordination and globalization are more and more prominent today. Those phenomena have been called as “industrialization of agriculture.” In this paper, the author reviews recent trends of industrialization and refers to the related factors which have played a major role to the advent of agricultural industrialization. The author emphasizes technological factor among various factors. In particular, the change of biotechnological R&D strategy, which tends to focus on output trait rather than input trait, is argued as one of the most important drives to accelerate the industrialization. While economic analysis on the industrialization of agriculture is prospering, sociological implications of the phenomena are also unneglectable. Based on the review of recent analysis done by agricultural sociologists, the author proposes several sociological viewpoints to elucidate the implication of the industrialization in terms of producers’ decision-making, flow of technical information, and food system restructuring. Implications for Japanese agriculture is also discussed in the final part of the paper.
