In the current rapidly changing environment, each country continues to make efforts to create jobs and strengthen technological competitiveness. In particular, support and revitalization policies for venture companies and start-ups are known to play a role in increasing national competitiveness. Companies should make appropriate replacements amid growing uncertainties in the environment in which business life is shortened and customer needs are diversified due to intensifying competition. First of all, it is important for companies to make efforts to strengthen their internal capabilities on their own. However, venture companies lack internal resources and capabilities, so support from the external environment is important enough to lead to the survival of the company(Timmons, 1994). Financial support and certification systems are being operated at the national level to strengthen the competitiveness of companies. However, financial support can lower a company's self-sustainability depending on the situation, so non-financial support such as R&D support and start-up education is considered to be helpful in the long term for venture growth(Aghion et al., 2012; Jeon & Ko, 2021). Non-financial support is divided into commercialization, facilities, space, childcare, manpower, and certification systems, and this study confirmed the benefits of the venture company confirmation system, which is a certification system. To this end, the 2021 venture company precision survey data and venture company sales data were used, and analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 package and SPSS PROCESS MACRO. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the level of the management environment of venture companies has a positive effect on the benefits of the venture confirmation system or increasing the level of venture company capabilities, but it is difficult to lead to actual management performance. In addition, it was confirmed that the level of venture company competency mediates the relationship between the level of the venture company's business environment and management performance. As a result, even if the level of the venture company's business environment is positive or venture-friendly, it can be said that companies with internal capabilities to digest support from the external environment increase management performance.

Attempts were made to define the elements of debates, impact of decisions of the Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit-sharing(ABS) of the Conference of the Parties(COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity(CBD) In Korea. Providing policy suggestions to cope with ABS, a cross-cutting issue of the meetings of the COP, was also undertaken. Meetings concerning ABS deal with several key matters such as an international regime, which is a legally binding implementation tool of the Bonn Guidelines, an international certificate of genetic resources' origin/source/legal provenance, and disclosure of origin of genetic resources, compliance measures with prior informed consent of the Contracting Parties providing such resources and with mutually agreed terms on which access was granted. Developing countries, rich in biodiversity and genetic resources, use the CBD as a major tool to maximize their national profits. They demand for national sovereign rights for the genetic resources and indigenous communities providing associated traditional knowledge. At the meetings of the COP, in addition, they requested that developed countries should transfer technologies and provide a financial mechanism for resource conservation to them. On the contrary, the developed countries argue that facilitating access to genetic resources is essential for scientific research and development, and that both Intellectual Property Rights and biotechnology using genetic resources should be protected to maximize their national benefits. Decisions of the COP concerning the Bonn Guidelines and compliance measures with ABS will affect on various socioeconomic fields of Korea, a country which is short of genetic resources. Especially, the importation of genetic resources and land development which might damage genetic resources will be limited seriously. Consequently, overall expenses will increase for the securing genetic resources from the foreign countries and developing biotechnology for conservation and sustainable uses of genetic resources. To minimize the adverse impacts, we endeavor to establish our clear standpoint and to lead the international trends, which are favorable for us. In order to achieve these objectives, government needs i) to proceed researches to lead the international ABS debates actively and to prepare the expected decisions of the future meetings of the COP, ii) to establish a national implementation plan to cope with the ABS and its related decisions, iii) to examine and improve the efficiencies of the national implementation plan with a proper monitoring system, and iv) cope with the other international meetings including the meetings of Trade Related Intellectual Properly Rights and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture actively.

There have been raised other environmental issues related to remediated soils piled up in numerous carry-out processing facilities because a considerable quantity of them have been produced every year, but most of them have not been relevantly reused or recycled. Thus, this article reports the trend of researches on the development of techniques to restore the quality of remediated soils to activate their reuse and recycling. Firstly, the tendency of change in soil properties through remediation processes was looked over, and then the degradation of soil quality was characterized according to the type of remediation processes. Besides, the direction of policy to promote the reuse and recycling of remediated soils was introduced, and finally, the future works needed were suggested. This article was prepared based on the results of the survey of domestic and foreign literature. A number of literature were reviewed to scrutinize the change of soil properties due to remediation processes and diverse techniques for the amendment and restoration of remediated soils. Furthermore, the policies related to the reuse and recycling of remediated soils were arranged with the reference of the first and second versions of the Soil Conservation Master Plan of Korea. The literature survey focused on three kinds of remediation technologies, such as land farming, soil washing, and thermal desorption, which were most frequently used so far in Korea. The results indicate that the tendency of change in soil properties was significantly different depending on the type of remediation processes applied, and the degradation characteristics of soil quality were also totally different between them. The soil amendment and restoration can be categorized as three techniques depending on the type of substances used, such as inorganic, organic, and biological ones. Diverse individual materials have been used, and the soil properties improved or enhanced were dependent on the type of specific materials utilized. However, few studies on the restoration of soil qualities degraded during the remediation processes have not been carried out so far. The second Soil Conservation Master Plan states the quality certification and target management system of remediated soils, and it is expected that their reuse and recycling will be facilitated hereafter. With the consideration of the type of remediation processes implemented and public utility, the restoration technologies of remediated soils should be developed for the vitalization of their reuse and recycling. Besides, practical and specific measures should be taken to support the policy specified in the second Soil Conservation Master Plan and to promote reuse/recycling of remediated soils.

There has been an increasing public concern about environmental safety and human health of field crops while customer consumes more and more field crops, to which overdose and residual chemicals were applied. As a solution for the problems, construction of sustainable agroecosystem is spreading out to pursuit the economic value of agricultural management as well as to meet environment concern. Public has extended their understanding on the preservation of environment and safeness of agricultural products, and governmental policy toward sustainable agriculture drives rapid increase of the production of sustainable agricultural products. Under this circumstances, it is time to encourage more consumption and to activate market system for the sustainable agricultural products. This study was initiated to diagnose the problems and future direction of domestic sustainable agriculture by analyzing the overall opinions of consumer on the sustainable agriculture. The results are as follows: The pursuit of low input management is a prerequisite to creat high valued agricultural products, and serious consideration should be taken to produce clean crops using natural products. Consummers are willing to pay 10∼50% more prices if the products get certified by official eco-label programs. It is believed that practice of sustainable agriculture using biopesticide and natural pesticide would accelerate the rapid extension of this pro-environmental agricultural management. To activate production and consumption of sustainable agricultural products correct informations on safety should be addressed to customer, and confidence has to be brought about from customer. This could be done by obtaining various and efficient distribution route, product competency for quality, upgraded sales strategy, maximum utilization of certificate system, and practice of recall system, so on.

Lately, recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been changing. CSR turned out to be a powerful tool which a company incorporates to improve its image. Nowadays, it is no longer an option, but a shared sense which is a source of corporate growth and competitiveness. CSR has changed with times and the economic environment, especially as the global value chain (GVC) came to be more vital, it became accepted as an effective means of growth strategy for small and medium exporters. For SMEs exporters, participating in GVC requires that they meet international standards for CSR demanded by global enterprises. Reflecting this trend, exporters should strive to achieve both goals of social responsibility fulfillment and efficient growth through CSR activities. As one of the key measures for a sustainable growth of an organization, the following are the policy implications. First, it is necessary to establish a national organization dedicated to CSR for small businesses. The central government should establish an organization which is exclusively responsible for CSR of SMEs and oversee the task of CSR of small businesses. Second, the development and verification of the CSV evaluation model should be promoted. The international trend of CSR should be promptly spread out to individual firms and supported to maximize economic effects through consultancy. Third, it should be linked to global advancement. CSR reports by small and mid-size businesses will have to be written to ensure that they have a real effect on the global value chain.

Recently, an emission test procedure using a portable emissions measurement system(PEMS) has received much attention as an effective means of controlling real driving emissions from light-duty diesel vehicles. The PEMS-based test procedure will be implemented from 2017 in Europe and Korea as a complementary test procedure for certification and regulation. In the present study, on-road NOx emissions were measured for four kinds of Euro 5 Korean light-duty diesel vehicles under real driving conditions, including urban, rural, and motorway test routes. The real driving emission characteristics were evaluated using both a moving averaging window(MAW) and the weighted emission method(WEM). The evaluated NOx emission results (under real driving conditions) from the MAW and WEM showed similar tendencies for the test vehicles and routes, while exceeding the certification emission limit by 1.8~8.5 and 2.0~10.6 times, respectively.

21세기는 과학기술의 비약적인 발전으로 정보통신기술, 환경기술, 나노기술 그리고 생명과학에 의한 바이오기술이 고부가가치 지식산업으로서 국가경쟁력 강회를 위한 국가전략 핵심산업으로 대두되고 있습니다. 특히 바이오기술의 응용산업인 건강기능식품은 국민의 질병예방과 건강증진을 통한 삶의 질 향상에 이바지하고, 21세기 미래 고부가가치산업으로 발전할 것으로 기대하고 있습니다. 이러한 시기에 국민보건과 건강기능식품산업의 발전을 위한 건강기능식품에 관한 법률(건강기능식품법) 이 의원입법으로 국회에 상정되어 1년 이상의 검토를 거쳐 지난 7월 31일에 국회 본회의를 통과하였습니다. 그후 8월 26일자로 이 법을 정부에서 공포하였으며 내년 8월 26일부터는 발효할 예정입니다. 그러나, 건강기능식품법의 제정은 건강기능식품관련 제도의 완성이 아니라 시작입니다. 즉, 건강기능식품법의 기초는 마련하였지만, 그 하위법인 시행령, 시행규칙, 고시등이 제대로 된 모습을 갖추어야 비로소 국민이 만족하고, 산학연의 동반 발전을 이룰 수 있는 이 분야의 산업발전을 기할 수 있습니다. 그리고, 건강기능식품담당 정부부처인 식품의약품안전청은 현실적으로 그 하위법을 금년 말(2002년)이나 내년 초(2003년)에 준비한 후 입법 예고하여야하는 시간적 제약을 안고 있습니다. 이러한 연유로 단기간 내에 하위법을 준비하다 보면 자칫 애초에 정부와 산학연이 바라던 바와는 다른 엉뚱한결과를 초래할 우려가 있는 만큼, 법 제도의 명확한 방향설정이 매우 중요합니다. 그래서, 한국식품과학회 건강기능식품분과위원회는 이 문제의 중요성을 깊이 인식하고 산학연 전문가그룹(식품과학자, 영양과학자, 학계, 연구계, 기업계: 16인)을 구성하였습니다. 전문가그룹은 지난 7 - 8월, 2달 동안에 수 차례 회의를 통하여, 건강기능식품법 하위법 준비 중 핵심사항은 건강기능식품의 기능성 표시와 평가 라는 점에 착안하고, 이에 대하여 중점적으로 검토하였습니다. 그 이외에도 섭취량 설정 , 심사자료의 인증요건 , 기능성분의 표시 등에 대하여도 부수적으로 검토하였습니다. 그 결과, 동물실험을 이용한 기능성평가 방향 (이미 본지의 전호에서 게재한 바 있어생략)을 제외한 주요사항을 다음의 별도 기사로 각각 소개합니다. 또한, 이 내용은 지난 9월 13일, COEX에서 제1회 건강기능식품 전시회 및 학술세미나 행사의 일환으로서 개최된 학술세미나에서 발표하고 토론회를 거쳤습니다. 또한, 지난 10월 26일, 무주리조트에서 식품과학회 추계학술대회 행사의 일환으로 개최된 건강기능식품분과위원회의 토론회에서도 좋은 의견을 교환한 바 있습니다. 두 차례의 토론회를 통하여 건강기능식품분과위원회가 제안한 초안이 대체적으로 매우 바람직한 것으로 평가받았으며 많은 동의를 얻었습니다. 이어서 토론회의 내용을 반영한 식품과학회의 안을 최종적으로 준비하고 이를 11월초에 식품의약품안전청에게 정책 건의하였습니다. 다음의 별도기사에 덧붙여서, 토론회를 통하여 수정(또는 강조)하고자 하는 부분은 아래와 같습니다. 1) 동물실험 등에서 흡수, 대사 등으로 표기한 서술 용어는 흡수, 분포, 대사, 배설 로 대체합니다. 2) 기능성 평가방법의 표준화와 관련하여 분과위원회에서 제시한 안은 평가방법은 심의위원회가 사안에 따라 기능성 평가시에 그 평가방법의 적합성을 검토함이 바람직하다 라고 하였습니다. 그러나, 이를 부분적으로는 평가방법을 표준화할 필요가있다 로 수정하고자 합니다. 즉, 평가방법이 전혀 제시되지 않으면 막막함으로, 기본적인 방법이면서 여러사람들이 참고로 할만한 방법에 대하여는 표준화를 병행함이 더욱 좋겠다고 생각합니다. 또한, 표준방법으로 제시된 것만이 유일한 방법은 아니므로 다른 방법으로 평가하는 것도 가능함으로 제시합니다. 3) (가칭)건강기능식품 인체시험 관리지침과 관련하여 이는 식약청장이 정할 사안이지만, 그것은 국내 의약품 임상시험 관리지침 과는 뚜렷이 차별화되는 것으로 실제로는 의사의 도움없이도 인체시험을 시행할 수 있음을 명확히 할 필요가 있습니다.
