Research Abstract |
This research is the international research project with Professor Andrew Errington, The University of Plymouth, UK, and Mr. John Baker, an attorney, the Extension of Iowa State University, the USA. Mr. Baker was planning to conduct the survey in Iowa about intergenerational farm transfer, replicating the previous surveys that Professor Errington completed in England, France, and Canada, and he was trying to extend this research project to other states in the USA. Furthermore Professor Errington and Mr. Baker were thinking to form an intergenerational collaboration about this project named FARMTRANSFERS. Our project has been completed as a part of FARMTRANSFERS and the details are as follows : (1) We completed a nationwide survey, of actual conditions concerning the intergenerational farm transfer, a questionnaire survey and a replication of the previous surveys.

Concretely, intensive seminar and farm visit surveys in Japan, the USA, and the UK, and the research was deepened while covering related areas of the trend of the farm management, the farmland system, and the farm family problem, etc. (3) We were able to do the comprehensive research through the surveillance study above-mentioned and to analyze in the characteristics and the trends of the intergenerational farm transfer in Japan. The members of this research project are professors who are belonging to different universities and engaging in the research on agricultural economy of each area. It is the purpose of this project to make the research on intergenerational farm transfer that had been individually advanced up to now integrated. Less
