Several policy measures related to green tourism have been enforced from 2001 by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry(MAF), Rural Development Administration(RDA), Ministry of Environment(ME) and Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs(MGAHA). These have to be introduced and managed of their own accord and autonomously. Also, the rural community that has been promoting green tourism must be harmonized with its natural environment, namely natural scenery and rural culture, which provide urban residents with amenity and rurality. So green tourism had better be based on environmentalfriendly agriculture because it offers safe foods and areas, many creatures to see and play around. To manage green tourism sustainable, it is important for rural and urban residents to come into close relation and to trade in organic products each other. Lastly, the region bounds in green tourism have to be expanded into county(Gun) unit.
Recently, productionconsumption quantity and market size of environmentfriendly agricultural products(EFAP) have been increased. Consumers have demanded food safety and nutrition of EFAP, but in the near future they will need many kinds of item, relatively low price and high quality. So producers have to make an effort for downcost, increasing items and developing technical knowhow, which can be attained by producer/region organization. Correlation coefficient between the recognition degree for certification system and purchasing amounts at a time is higher than other ones. Therefore public information works using the TV and newspaper must be promoted all the more about certification system. And if the consumer"s satisfaction level of EFAP purchased gets higher, the quantity demanded will be increased more. And consumer"s trust on EFAP is derived from certification system or close relation between producers and consumers. Thus the most important thing of marketing strategies for EFAP is continuously to focus on explanation and information works on certification system by region in metropolitan area. Also, it is necessary to introduce green marketing principles and apply to strategies by item type. Namely those need to establish target market segmentation and marketing strategy stages according to the green degrees of market and commodity.
The purpose of this study is to introduce issues on agricultural policy of participatory government and to suggest some implications for national consensus. According to the finance and investment plan, 119 trillion won in total will be invested in the farming industry for improving the welfare system and development of the sector over the next 10 years. It is very important that this plan will make Korean farmers competitive and income per capita increased more and more. By the way, the plan has been argued by farmer"s organization(NGO) and some people of academic circles because there is a fair question as to how effective these investment aids will be. Therefore, the finance and investment plan must be established on the basis of effective execution system as well as additional discussion for national agreement. In addition, the "Special Plan Committee for agriculturefishery and farmingfishing communities" will work out an ideal framework for succeeding this plan.
This study was conducted to screen the antagonistic bacteria which inhibit the growth of plant pathogen, fusarium wilt(Fusarium oxysporum) occurred in tomato plants in greenhouse. We isolated an effective bacterial strains and investigated into the antifungal activity of the antagonistic microorganism and it"s identification. Ten bacterial strains which strongly inhibited Fusarium oxysporum were isolated from the nature, and the best antagonistic bacterial strain designated as KC175, was selected. The antagonistic strain KC175 was identified to be the genus Bacillus sp. based on the morphological and biochemical characterization. The Bacillus sp. KC175 showed 58.2% of antifungal activity against the growth of Fusarium oxysporum. By the bacterialization of the culture broth and the heat bacterialization culture filtrate of it, Bacillus sp. KC175 showed 91% and 18% of antifungal activity, respectively.
Organic livestock farming in northern European regions has been expanded with the major animals of large ruminants using pastures and grass silages. Organic livestock farming in some European countries has been in rather short of productivity compared to the conventional livestock farming, however since the gap of productivity between organic and conventional livestock farming has been reported to be reduced when the efficiency of management would improve, organic livestock farming has a potential to develop as a clean livestock farming in the future. We expect that organic livestock farming be propelled to a future model of livestock farming in Korea too.
As the schemes for realization of organic livestock farming in Korea, firstly a system for the consistent supply of organic feed should be established. Mountainous areas that represents 63% of total area of Korea could be utilized for the production of organic forages.
Uncultivated rice paddy and upland agricultural field could also be used for this purpose. The active application of organic agricultural byproducts such as organic rice straw, organic rice bran and so forth can be considered for organic livestock farming. Secondly, the replacement of antibiotics for the management of animal diseases should be developed using natural products. Plants and microbes would be good sources of natural products. Thirdly, the realization of organic livestock farming may require a system for certification of the organic farms and consequently the experts to work on.
This research was made to determine the optimum mixing ratio cattle manure and food waste investigating the effect that gets the growth and reproductive efficiency of earthworm and productivity of earthworm casts at processing process when handled cattle manure and food waste by vermicomposting, in order to establish the treatment system of organic wastes by vermicomposting.
Survival ratio of earthworm was highest in the mixing ratio 80~100%:20~0% of cattle manure and food Waste, and the increasing ratio was highest in cattle manure 100%, and the number of young worms, the weight of young worms and the productivity of earthworm casts in plots more than the mixing ratio 60% of cattle manure were significantly higher than in the other treatment plots(p<0.05).
Total nitrogen and carbon contents in earthworm cast were decreased when rearing time of earthworm was increased. Carbon and nitrogen rate(C/N) of earthworm cast in plots more than the mixing ratio 80% of cattle manure was significantly higher than in the other treatment plots(p<0.05).
pH in earthworm cast was higher than that in residual matter. The contents of electrolytic conductivity in the higher mixing ratio of food waste were significantly higher than those in the other treatment plots(p<0.05).
In order to investigate the possibility for use to control environmental pollution, Kenaf( Hibiscus cannabinus L.) was used to obtain information of their growth and CO₂ response under different temperatures and CO₂ concentration. The highest percentage of germination and aboveground dry mass of Kenaf were found at 30℃ and 35℃ by 89.0% and 3.2g, respectively under different temperatures. The amount of CO₂ absorption and aboveground dry mass production of Kenaf were higher than those of maize during the whole growing period and the last sampling of aboveground dry mass of Kenaf and maize were 252.9g and 200.8g, respectively. The highest plant height was found at 400ppm by 131.0㎝ and the next was in the order of 600ppm by 129.3㎝, and 800ppm by 108.8㎝. Leaf area was higher in the order of 400ppm>600ppm>800ppm, whereas leaf dry mass was in the order of 800ppm>600ppm>400ppm under different CO₂ concentration, showing that leaf became thicker as CO₂ concentration was increased. Days from seeding to flowering became shorter by 13 days in 35/25℃ compared with 25/15℃ between two temperature regimes and they also became shorter as CO₂ concentration was increased. Aboveground dry mass was higher in 35/25℃ than that of 25/15℃ between two temperature regimes, while it was increased in the order of 800ppm>600ppm>400ppm as CO₂ concentration was increased. Temporal changes of leaf dry mass during growth period showed no difference between CO₂ concentration in 25/15℃, but the highest of it was found at 800ppm in 35/25℃. The highest temporal increase of root dry mass was found at 800ppm in 25/15℃, but 35/25℃ showed no difference between different CO₂ concentration.
