Abstract

A novel evaluation framework of farmlands in a rural-urban mixed area was developed towards a sustainable agricultural system. The object of the framework was to establish a material circulation system that utilizes kitchen waste from houses to fertilize nearby farmlands. The framework was then applied to Kokubunji City in the Metropolis of Tokyo, a representative rural-urban mixed area. The framework illustrated that the degree to which farms may obtain sufficient compost is a factor of the size of the farms and their interspersing rate. The smaller the farms and the more interspersed they are, the greater the sufficiency of compost is. Meanwhile, farm products in small-scale farmlands with sufficient compost satisfy the demand of those households providing kitchen waste.
