Purpose of Research
○With the limits of individual farm-based responses increasingly apparent, new cooperative forms—characterized by the joint use of agricultural machinery, land, and labor, and by collective decision-making—are emerging as viable alternatives. The research empirically examines how such collaborative practices contribute to maintaining rural communities and improving the efficiency of farm management, while also emphasizing the need to establish an institutional policy framework to support these initiatives. This study aims to explore the meaning and potential of collaborative agricultural production and management systems as a strategy to ensure the sustainability of Korean agriculture amid the accelerating decline in agricultural labor and inefficient farmland utilization caused by low fertility and population aging. Furthermore, we analyze practical examples to suggest policy directions in the future.
