The mterrelat10nsh1p between off-farm employment and land use intensity among small farmers was examined. A farm survey of 3,333 farm households and secondary data from Korea were used for the empmcal analysis. A simultaneous equations model that contamed both quahtative and continuous dependentvanables was used to estimate a JOint determination of off-farm employment and land use intensity. A strong negative mterrelationship was found between off-farm employment and land use intensity. The maior result shows that government polic1es that pursue separate goals of off-farm employment and increased land utthzatlon can be counterproductive if implemented concurrently. Also, some potential policy measures that can mitigate those pohcy conflicts are increased resources devoted to farmers' education and farm mechanization.
