- Agricultural land has various functions not only as a place to produce agricultural products, but also as a water retention function, as a green space, and a function as a vacant lot in the event of a disaster.
- The production green area actively evaluates the green space function of agricultural land in urbanized areas, and create a good urban environment by preserving farmland that helps prevent pollution and disasters, and create an urban environment in harmony with agriculture. It is a system to plan.
Designation of Production Green Area
- In Yokohama City, among the well cultivated farmland with an area of 300 square meters or more (*) in the urbanization area, those that fall under the designated requirements of the Production Green Space Law and the designated standards of the city, through the procedures of city planning. Designated as a production green area.
- For designated farmland, the farmland owner is required to properly manage the farmland.
- The designation of a production green area in Yokohama City started in 1992, and additional designation has been made every year so far.
- ※Reduction of Area Requirements
- The revised Production Green Space Law was enforced in June 2017, and the municipalities set ordinances to reduce the designated area requirement that was 500 square meters or more to 300 square meters by establishing ordinances.
- In response to this, Yokohama City has been working on a scale that enables efficient cultivation in terms of farming and complementing green space functions in urbanized areas.
