Japanese term
Momoka (X)
零細分散錯圃
Japanese to English
Other
Agriculture
A system in Japanese agriculture.
It seems to consist in keeping small rather than large farms, and all dispersed, in order to avoid big loses in case of natural disasters and others. In the document I'm working on, changing this traditional system and producing on big farms will improve productivity and has other advantages.
Is there any name in English for this?

A little long, but it does make sense.

Sorry, owners should be "ownership," but it didn't fit. I'd drop the "its" in front of it, though.

Comment: "Thank you, casey.
What I really wanted was a name for the system, but didn't get one, so I ended up using an explanation of what it is...as you say. "

small-scale and scattered farming
「錯圃」の「錯」は、異なる所有者の圃場が錯綜としていることを意味していると思われますが、「分散」という言葉から「異なる所有者の圃場が錯綜としている」事実は自明でありますので英訳には「錯」を入れる必要はないと考えます。
