Özet

Japonya'da kadınlar neredeyse her zaman tarımla iç içe olmuştur. Ancak tarımda yer alan kadınlar tarımsal üretim süreçlerinde hak ettikleri değeri görememişlerdir. Ekonomik büyümede tarımın artan önemi ve gıda güvenliği konusunda artan farkındalık, kadınların tarımda güçlendirilmesi konusunu gündeme getirmiştir. Japonya'da girişimcilik eğilimleri yüksek olmasa da tarımın ekonomiye olumlu etkilerinin olması için 2015 yılından sonra tarım-kadın girişimciliğinin geliştirilmesine yönelik düzenlemelerin hız kazandığı görülmektedir. Çalışmamız, Japonya’da kadınların tarımdaki durumunu, kadınları tarımda çalışmaya iten sebepleri, tarımda girişimci olarak kadınlara sağlanan destekleri ve Japon kadın girişimcilerin tarımda yaşadıkları sorunları ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşımdan hareketle, Japonya'da kadınların tarımsal girişimcilik ekseninde güçlenmesini sağlayacak somut önerilerin sunulması da amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın ana sonuçlarına göre, tarımda güvenli gıda üretimi ve tarımsal faktörlerin ekonomik kalkınma için artan önemi nedeniyle tarımda kadın girişimciliği daha fazla ilgi görmektedir. Öte yandan, tarımda kadın girişimciliğinin artırılması için daha fazla toplumsal bilince ihtiyaç olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.
