     View Summary

    <p>This research aims to show the effect of using the system of community-reactivating cooperators in starting a farming business. The method used is an interview survey of two cases that entered agriculture by using this system in Ibaraki prefecture. One was thinking about farming, the other was not originally thinking about it. We identified three positive effects: (1) The system attracts the latter to agriculture. The latter decided to start a business in agriculture through the activities. This result suggests that using the system may lead to expanding the possibility of securing human resources in agriculture. (2) The people can prepare for entering agriculture based on their idea because they can freely decide their activities. Also, the people were able to build relationships with people in other industries as well as agriculture and get trust through the activities. (3) The people can prepare to start farming by their own initiative. The reason is that their position is equivalent to civil servant, so they are not employed by active farmers. Their position led them to smooth networking with active farmers and deciding their management style themselves.</p>

     View Summary

    This paper aims to characterize post-purchase evaluations of organic compared to non-organic agricultural products by applying text mining to consumer reviews on an e-commerce mall. We employ coding analysis to identify perspective differences and document scaling analysis to extract elements demonstrating divergent evaluation tendencies. The analysis revealed that health and safety expectations and interest in farmers were associated with positive evaluations of organic products, while environmental protection was a minor consideration. The evaluation criteria for attributes such as appearance and smell differed from those for non-organic agricultural products.
