Abstract

The contract farming scheme of today is a new system that allows the forward and backward linkage of the agribusiness through vertical coordination while also leading the changes within the agri-food system. As contract farming of agricultural products becomes routine in both advanced and developing countries alike, it is gaining the attention of researchers in various fields, including geography. This research discusses the research trends and problems regarding contract farming through literary research on the research progress of foreign researchers on contract farming. The content of the research specifically includes explanations regarding the relationships between the rise of contract farming and changes in the agri-food system and discusses the basic theoretical foundations of contract farming. The research also defines the economic and environmental effects of contract farming and its purpose in regional development policies and concludes with discussions of the possible future research subjects on contract farming.

계약 생산은 수직적 조정에 의해 농산업의 전후방 연계를 가능케 하는 새로운 제도로서 오늘날 농식품 체계의 변화를 주도하고 있다. 농산물의 계약 생산은 선진국과 개발도상국을 막론하고 점차 보편적인 현상이 됨에 따라 지리학을 비롯한 다양한 분야의 연구자들로부터 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 계약 생산에 관한 해외 연구자들의 연구 성과에 대한 문헌 연구를 통해 이 분야에 관한 연구 동향과 과제에 대해 논의하였다. 구체적인 연구 내용을 보면, 계약 생산의 성장 배경을 농식품 체계의 변화와 관련지어 설명하고 계약 생산의 이론적 기초에 대해 고찰하였으며, 계약 생산의 경제적, 환경적 영향과 지역 발전 정책으로서 갖는 의미를 살펴보고, 계약 생산에 관한 장래 연구 과제에 대해 논의하였다.
