Description

The combined agriculture and forestry managements have drawn a lot of attention and subjected to extensive research as a major type of forestry management in Japan. However, the nationwide distribution of them hasn’t been fully evident. The objective of this study is to utilize the 2015 Census of Agriculture and Forestry data on cities and towns, and identify and characterize areas where the combined agriculture and forestry managements are popular. Based on the findings, I argued as follows: 1) among mountainous regions in Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu Islands where agricultural land is small but the middle class forest holdings are frequently observed, there are areas where the combined managements with emphasis on agriculture are prevalent on one hand, and areas where both agriculture and forestry are active on the other hand, whereas the combined managements are popular where large scale agriculture is observed in Hokkaido; 2) the combined managements are distributed throughout the nation so that the forest species compositions vary a lot across regions with different climate conditions, and on the agricultural side, both beef cattle production that requires less land and industrial crops such as tea and tabacco, fruits and shiitake mushroom, all of which can be grown on slopes, characterize areas where the combined managements are popular.
