Outline of Final Research Achievements

The analysis of the collected data demonstrates several things, although they are provisional. For example, 1) new networks and trust relationships have been formed among producers by participating in business activities, 2) participation in business activities has been able to empower women, 3) the work-life balance of female producers has influenced participation in business activities and may also affect the sustainability of the business itself. I have been presented these provisional findings in various occasions, such as conferences within and outside Japan, academic study groups, in-house seminars from time to time, through which I have disseminated information and sought opinions from experts. I am currently working on papers, aiming to publish them in international journals.
