| Research Abstract |
The study focused on community business (CB) in the field of 'food and agriculture', and analyzed two dimensions of CB, one is lead by agri-business, and another is lead by rural community and farmers. The case studies about the former dimension were explored at ethanol producing plants in mid-western USA and at a food company located in China coast-area exporting vegetables to Japan, and showed that both cases have possibilities to be CB by promoting job opportunities in the region. As to the latter dimension, the case studies on farmers' direct selling of agricultural products, rural tourism and rural women's entrepreneurship were explored and showed that all of them are changing into more consumer-oriented and releasing themselves from farmers' side-business to CB or social enterprise.
