      abstract = {The world is facing serious resource shortage and  environmental problems. Eco-efficiency is more attention  for sustainable development not only in manufacturing  sector but also agricultural sector. This study  investigates whether Japanese agriculture improves its  eco-efficiency. To conduct the analysis, we, first, develop  a System of Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA)  for agriculture and forestry, and then estimate the  eco-efficiencies and Factor values (FVs) of the  agricultural sector, using a case study in Japan.  Eco/energy-efficiencies and FVs are estimated based on  greenhouse gas emission, acidification, eutrophication, air  pollution, and energy and water use in every five year from  1985 to 2005. The results shows that although the absolute  amounts of environmental impact and resource use have  declined, eco/resource-efficiencies have worsened and FVs  are less than 1 throughout the estimation period. Further  governmental support for farmers is required to achieve  improved eco-efficiency.},
