In recent years, as labor shortages in agriculture have become more serious, agricultural welfare partnerships have been attracting attention. However, the withdrawal rate from agricultural welfare partnerships is high nationwide, and there are issues of continuity. In addition, it has been pointed out that it is important to build a support system for agricultural welfare partnerships by relevant local organizations, and support by such organizations is required to enhance continuity. In this paper, based on a survey of the actual situation of the collaboration between Type B labor support facilities and agricultural enterprises in Eniwa City, Hokkaido, we clarify the factors necessary for the continuation of this collaboration and consider the performances of the related organizations. In order to continue the collaboration between agriculture and welfare, it is necessary to give consideration to users and to secure staff with an understanding of agriculture. Three elements were pointed out as necessary for the consideration of users: the adoption of a piece-rate system, outsourcing of work with an appropriate level of difficulty, and maintenance of the work environment. As for measures required of related organizations, there is room to consider providing financial support to cover the additional fee for out-of-facility work and expanding the regional area to increase the number of offices involved in agricultural and welfare cooperation.
近年，農業での労働力不足が深刻化している中で，農福連携が注目されている．しかし，全国の農福連携からの撤退率は高く，継続性に課題を抱えている．また，農福連携は地域の関係機関による支援体制づくりが重要であると指摘されており，継続性を高めるためには関係機関による支援が求められる．そこで本論文では，北海道恵庭市における就労継続支援B型事業所と農業経営体間による農福連携の実態調査をもとに，農福連携を継続していくために必要な要素を明らかにし，関係機関に求められる対応を考察した．農福連携を継続するためには，利用者への配慮，農業に理解のある事業所職員の確保が必要である．利用者への配慮に必要な要素が3点指摘され，出来高制の採用，適切な難易度の作業委託，作業環境の整備が必要である．関係機関に求められる対応は，施設外就労加算をカバーするような金銭的支援を行うこと，農福連携に取り組む事業所数を増やすために，地域エリアを拡大することも検討の余地がある．
