Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

有畜農業とは、耕種農業と畜産との有機的連環を主眼とした自給的性格の強い農法である。１９３０年代から６０年代の約４０年の間に、昭和農村恐慌に対する有効性の期待できる農法として国を挙げて奨励されはじめ、戦後の高度経済成長期に進展した農業機械化までの日本農政の基調であった。現代日本の畜産が、輸入飼料依存体質に起因する食糧自給率の低下や畜産経営の脆弱化、家畜ふん尿による汚染の深刻化などの大きな問題を抱えるなか、かつての有畜農業は、〈土－草－牛の資源循環型農業〉として放牧慣行とともに再評価されつつある。本研究の成果は、当問題に関する実証的な基盤となる資料群をい把握し、整理できたことにある。
