In recent years,the number of farmers practicing in environmentally conscious agriculture has been increasing. Furthermore, agricultural cooperatives which practice environmentally conscious agriculture are on the increase. Generally speaking, agricultural cooperatives are still limited in number. To expand the use of environmentally conscious agriculture, it is important that agricultural cooperatives practice it further. The purpose of this study is to determine factors that prevent agricultural cooperatives from practicing environmentally conscious agriculture through examining the experience of Kunneppu Agr. Coop. Furthermore, this study aims to analyze the possibility of increased use of environmentally conscious agriculture in the future
