A lab that considers rural revitalization through connections between people.

AboutAbout the lab
Solving agricultural problems through connections between people.
The Regional Partnership Economics Lab studies rural revitalization from the standpoint of socioeconomics.
The lab investigates networks for new rural revitalization, nonprofit organizations such as cooperatives, and the impact that new entrants and farm successors have on local communities.
The lab was established for research and education in collaboration with local communities, and it conducts training and research in municipalities in Hokkaido with which the Research Faculty of Agriculture has partnership agreements.
The lab also runs the farm practicum for "Foundations of Food Safety and Security," in cooperation with Rakuno Gakuen University and Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, as well as the Hokudai Marché.
