This study was conducted to investigate whether there were differences in eco-friendly food, home meal replacement (HMR) purchases, and eating-out behavior according to the level of agri-food consumer competence. The data for the study were extracted from main food consumers (n=3,321) in the 2022 Food Consumption Behavior Survey. The competence index was divided into awareness-attitude-practice items, and three groups were classified by competence level. The results showed an agri-food consumer competency score of 70.62, with the highest score for awareness (73.96), followed by practice (69.28) and attitude (66.18). The frequency of purchasing eco-friendly food was higher in the excellent group compared to other groups, and quality and price satisfaction was higher with higher competency (p<0.001). Regarding HMR, the results showed that the shortage group had the lowest HMR consumption rate, and satisfaction decreased as competence decreased (p<0.001). The main reason for eating-out was to enjoy food in all groups (59.0%), followed by a lack of cooking time in the excellent group (15.7%) and hassle with food preparation in the moderate and shortage groups (17.3%, 16.6%) (p<0.001). In short, agri-food consumption competency showed differences by contents and components, and differences in food purchases and eating-out behavior by competency level were found.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs introduced the Agrifood Voucher in 2020. The Agrifood Voucher is the program that provides vouchers to purchase selected food items with dietary management education. This study aimed to explore value and meaning of dietary management based on the Agrifood Voucher. First, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program of the United States and the Agrifood Voucher of Korea were reviewed. Second, various terms used for describing the purpose of food assistance programs were comparatively reviewed and ‘food and nutrition security’, together with the corresponding Korean term, was proposed to be the most appropriate term for the purpose. Subsequently, the value and meaning of dietary management based on the Agrifood Voucher were presented as enhancing food and nutrition security of the vulnerable. Diverse education programs should be developed and implemented to improve the dietary management capacity of the Agrifood Voucher recipients in order to properly realize the meaning and value of dietary management based on the Agrifood Voucher in the future.

Five standard solutions were isolated without interfering peak within 30 minutes and the calibration curves of standard were confirmed excellent linearity from 0.10% to 1.00% with R2≥0.999. Based on the chromatogram of the standard solution, the limit of quantification (LOQ) and the limit of detection (LOD) values were calculated. The accuracy of the analytical values were highest at 100% water extraction method to the fructose 95.7%, sucrose 98.7%, lactose 102.7% respectively, compared with reference value of a certified reference material (BCR644), by applying the four solvent extraction methods. Using an in-house quality control material (infant formula), repeatability and reproducibility values of this experiment were verified on the basis of AOAC guideline and reference values were set up at 1.17 g/100g of glucose, 0.85 g/100g of maltose, and 45.54 g/100g of lactose. Quality control charts were drawn up and used for sugars analysis of agricultural products.

2011년 이후 농식품 산업에서 연구개발 기술 자산들에 대한 평가를 수행할 때주도적으로 활용되고 있는 방법이 현금흐름할인(DCF) 방법이었으며, 최근에 종자기술 등과같은 기술자산의 경우에는 기술료 사례 정보를 기반으로 하는 기술평가를 병행하여 수행해오고 있다. 지금까지 알려진 현금흐름할인 방법은 추정되어야 할 입력변수가 많아 기술평가시에 정교한 추정이 요구되고 있다. 또한 기술료 사례 정보를 근거로 하는 거래사례비교 방법이나 업종별 산업표준(industry norm)을 적용할 때에도 평가대상 기술자산과 보다 근사한거래사례가 적용되어야 하는 것은 농식품 산업분야에서도 동일하게 고려되어야 하는 문제이다. 농식품 산업에서 기술평가 시 활용되고 있는 주요입력변수는 경제적 수명주기, 농식품업종 관련 재무적 정보, 할인율, 기술기여율 등이며, 해당 평가기관에서는 기반 정보구축과자료 최신화를 주기적으로 수행해오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 농식품 산업에서의 기존의 기술평가 시 평가결과에 가장 중요한 영향 미치는 주요변수를 탐색하고, 기술평가 입력 정보의 최신화를 통해 도출된 참조 지원정보를 활용하여 기존의 대표 평가사례들의 평가결과가 어떤 변화가 발생하였는지를 분석하였다. 또한입력자료 최신화가 기술평가 결과에 미치는 단편적 정보제공을 보완하기 위한 방안을 제시하면서 기존평가 결과와 자료 현행화 이후의 기술평가 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 분석을 수행하기 위해서 과거 농식품 산업에서 수행되었던 기술평가 사례를 선별하고 이를 바탕으로 입력변수들에 대한 민감도 분석 방법과 주요 핵심변수를 활용한 시뮬레이션 분석방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구결과는 농식품 분야에서 기술평가 시에 활용되고 있는 입력변수들에대한 자료 최신화 필요성과 핵심입력변수 기반 구축에 대한 중요한 정책적 시사점, 그리고기술가치평가 결과에 대한 보다 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the economic impacts of the CASSAVA project, IPM project, Post-Harvest project, and RICE project among 12 projects that are being worked on by the Asian Food & Agriculture Cooperation Initiative(AFACI) established in 2009. Reliable data such as FAO STAT etc. was utilized for the analysis on the economic impacts of each project and the data of an investigation on principal investigators of the nation who participate in each project was used for the analysis of the additional necessary information. According to the economic impacts analysis result, the economic impacts will occur and can be measured as an economic costs as follows: a total of $1,187,404 in Thailand for the next 19 years through the CASSAVA project, $2,358,299 in Indonesia for the next 18 years through the Post-Harvest project, $62,451,317 in Vietnam for the next 13 years through the Post- Harvest project and $60,629,555 in Nepal for the next 13 years through the RICE project. The AFACI project is a small project that annually supports each country that participates each project with approximately $ 10,000. Despite the small-scale project, the estimated result of economic impacts showed that great economic impacts occurred for its scale of the support. Thus, it is deemed that a search for ongoing methods that contribute to the role expansion of Korea and the agricultural development of the recipient country will be needed through the expansion and complementation of a low-cost and high efficiency Official Development Assistance(ODA) such as the AFACI project.

The purpose of this paper is to explain and identify how factors that related in consumer trust in food safety such as trust in agricultural food institutions, monitering responsibility of agricultural food institutions and truth-telling of agricultural food scandle have influence on agricultural food trust and consumer's perceived risk, and agricultural food trust have an effect on perceived risk and repurchase intention, and then the perceived risk has influences on repurchase intention in agricultural food product setting. A survey study was conducted to collect the data with women as consumers who have experience of purchase at several types of retailing grocery stores. Structural equation modeling with SPSS 19.0 and Amos 16 were performed to test the research hypothesis. The results of the study are as follows: First, trust in agricultural food institutions, monitering responsibility of agricultural food institutions and truth-telling of agricultural food scandle are positively associated on agricultural food trust, and truth-telling of agricultural food scandle are positively associated on consumer's perceived risk, but not in trust in agricultural food institutions and monitering responsibility of agricultural food institutions. Second, agricultural food trust are positively associated on purchase intention, but is negatively associated on consumer's perceived risk. Finally, perceived risk has not influences on purchase intention.

Vitamin D contents in agricultural products and foods were quantified by high performance liquid chromomatography (HPLC) with a UV/Vis detector, using external standard methods. The results were confirmed with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). After homogenization, samples were hydrolyzed by direct alkali saponification. Thereafter, fat-soluble components were extracted with n-hexane containing 0.01% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Vitamin D contents in cereals were found to be in the range of 1.882~4.856 μg/100 g. Juda's ear and oak mushroom contained high amounts of vitamin D, at 363.85 and 199.42 μg/100 g of edible portion, respectively.
