The current discussions about agricultural management focus on "how to make a profit."
This is because agriculture is considered one of the industries.
Capitalism demands perpetual economic growth, so within its framework, agriculture is expected to continuously increase sales.
However, the productivity of nature is basically constant.
If you still try to keep increasing sales, unnatural human intervention becomes inevitable, and nature will continue to be exploited.
Agriculture, fundamentally, is incompatible with capitalism.
On the other hand, while these dreams and philosophies are the most important, we also remain grounded in reality.
For those who want to start farming, it is essential to study agricultural management, which is often the biggest hurdle.
Rather than business management aiming for “profitable farming” within the framework of capitalism, what is needed is knowledge of a new agricultural management approach that aims to live “not profitably, but enough to survive.”
Sho Nakano of SHO Farm teaches the basics of management from the ground up, drawing on his experience as a banker and as an agricultural management advisor, as well as his practical experience running the farm. Our management details are also fully transparent.
Knowledge of agricultural management will become a vital part of you and will sustain your work.
Even if you’re not good at lectures or can’t read numbers well, let’s work hard together and start from the begging!
