Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In developing countries, donors often require large scale farming in order to develop agricultural productivity. However, in reality, large scale farming hardly function, and its rather small and middle sized family farming that adapt well the globalizing market economy. In Senegal, it is not realistic way to scale up the farming size of each farmer; it is rather family farming which becomes important in poverty alleviation in rural areas. Therefore, CNCR, a farmers' national association in Senegal, recommends protection and support for family farming. However, the possibility of family farming in this country is not unconditional. To a successful family faming it is needed to reduce financial risk by multiple income sources in the family as well as support from farmers' associations. However, it also needed that the farmers' association deals well market transactions amongst professional traders.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、家族制農業と農村組織、および農民を取り巻く文化的コンテクストを統一的に把握するために、所有論に基づく新たなアプローチ方法を採用した。これは、農民にとっての所有という観点から社会関係を統一的に把握するもので、これまでバラバラに把握されてきていたものを一つの理論的枠組みで分析することを可能にした。また、社会的意義としては、市場経済における家族制農業が持つ柔軟性とその問題点を明らかにすることができた。すなわち、家族制農業の農村組織の背後にはそれらを取り巻く様々なネットワークがあり、それらのネットワークが農家の生計上のリスクを分散することで、より効果的な農業が可能になっているのである。
