面對臺灣現階段農地產權細分、零碎,農民擁有的農地面積,平均規模小,農民年齡老化、收益不敷生計,衍生農業經營的困境,本文選取坐落於彰化縣的衝突型農村-崙雅村,與傳統農業型農村-潮洋村,以實證調查比較分析方式,探討台灣農業經營規模的真實概況。研究發現:農民擁有的農地,不論產權無有細分零碎,亦不論單純或複雜,率皆保持耕作狀態,顯示「農地必須農用」,在農民心目中,是無可置疑的共識。實證地區,農民擁有農地所有權的面積規模,固然僅有0.2-0.3公頃,惟,無心經營之農民,多以口頭約定的農地租賃,或無租借用方式,釋出耕作權利,讓農地繼續保持耕作,有心務農者,實際耕作規模,包括耕作自有農地,以及他人農地,平均規模3.50公頃!農戶單位人口平均耕作面積,已擴大為1953年的4倍!
The purpose of this article to review the evidence of reality farmland in Taiwan regarding to its issues of property segmentation, scrappy, the agricultural land area by farmers, the small average size, the age of farmers, the low agriculture income without livelihood and the difficulties of agricultural management.
