“The vision of regional diversified farming” had become popular since midst of 1970. There were a lot of tentative cases to realize this vision. Some were in line with main tendencys in agricultural field at that time, i. e. simplication of farming system and enlargement of farming scale. But, the others were not in line with them.
Government had also paid attention to it. However, actual policies were apt to drag the directions of the policy in the past, i. e. simplication of farming system and enlargement of farming scale. There had been two types of policy measures aimed to promote regional diversified farming. The one was one of the variation of the policy measures of the promotion of large scale, consolidated agricultural production area. The other was one of the variation of the policy measures of the supporting to farming groups.
There were many studies to deepen the rationality and the realization of the vision. Reveiwing the controveisral points, two policy implications become clear.
