정부가 2050년까지 탄소중립 목표를 선언함에 따라 농업 분야도 많은 양의 온실가스를 감축해야 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 저탄소농업 지원정책 추진현황을 살펴보고, 저탄소농업 지원정책 참여요인을 분석하는 데 있다. 연구 목적 달성을 위해 농가를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 프로빗모형을 이용하여 저탄소농업 지원정책 참여요인을 분석하였다. 2019년 기준 농업분야의 국가 온실가스 감축목표 달성률을 평가한 결과 매우 낮은 수준으로 나타났다. 프로빗 모형분석 결과, 경지 규모가 클수록, 농업 교육 프로그램 참여도가 높을수록, 저탄소농업 지원정책에 참여할 확률이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 농업분야 온실가스 감축 필요성과 2030 감축로드맵에 대한 인지도가 높을수록, 영농경력이 많을수록, 지원정책 참여 확률이 높았다. 따라서 저탄소농업을 활성화시키기 위해서는 저탄소농업 지원정책에 대한 인지도를 높여야 하며, 이를 위해 차별화 전략과 타켓팅 전략이 필요하다.
As the Korean government announced a carbon-neutral target by 2050, the agricultural sector also must try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sharply. The purpose of this study is to review the status of low-carbon agriculture and to identify factors participating in the low-carbon agriculture policy. A survey was conducted to quantitatively analyze factors that participate in the low-carbon agriculture policy. Probit model was applied for the analysis. It is concluded that the performance of greenhouse reduction was very low as of 2019 when the achievement of Nationally Determined Contributions in the agricultural sector was assessed. In the analysis, it was found that farmers who have larger acreage are more likely to participate in the greenhouse gas reduction business. As they participate in the agricultural education program, they recognize the necessity of greenhouse gas reduction in agriculture and the government’s greenhouse reduction roadmap by 2030, and their agricultural careers increase, they are more likely to participate in the low-carbon agriculture policy. Therefore, to activate low-carbon agriculture, the level of awareness of the policy should be enhanced. Furthermore, differentiation and targeting strategies are needed.
