Masumi Kikuchi is an Associate Professor in College of Arts and Sciences, the University of Tokyo. She holds a Ph.D. in International Relations, University of Waseda. She worked in Chinese Universities for 4 years (Guangdong Peizheng College and Qingdao University of Technology). She is researching about national resources management, environment policy, eco-tourism in Asia, especially in China, Japan, and the Southeast Asia. Her representative book is “Nouson-Keikan no Shigen-ka (Process of the Rural Landscape as New Resource – The Dynamic Strategy for Rice Terracces Conservation in Chinese Village Communities)” Ochanomizu-shobo press, 2016. Although the multifaceted functions of agriculture are emphasized and the beauty of rural landscapes is highly appreciated, few farmers are able to make a living from such landscapes. This book asks whether it is possible for farmers to create livelihoods sustained by a rural landscape within a market economy amidst agricultural decline and the impoverishment of rural communities. To achieve this aim, "Resourcification of the Rural Landscape," which forms the title of this book, is necessary. "Resourcification of the Rural Landscape" is considered using field surveys.
