  • The technology of direct-seeding in rice cultivation is an innovation mainly induced by factors in market economy and is rapidly diffused among individual farmhouses. Because the effect of technology can be affected by many factors under various farming circumstances, the impact and stability of the direct-seeding technology compared with transplanting was analyzed under various topographical regions. Yield in direct-seeding was higher in plains, although the farm size producing higher yield was quite different depending on the topographical regions. In the direct-seeding cultivation of rice, man-labor hours was reduced by about 38 percent and the reduction rate showed little difference among topographical regions. Fertilizer was used about 11 percent more but the increase rate varied from 3 to 17 percent depending on regions with higher rates in plains. Application of agricultural chemicals was also increased about 9 percent in direct-seeding, but the increase rate was as high as 12 percent in suburbs. More fertilizer and agricultural chemicals were used in direct-seeding cultivation by farmhouses implementing both direct-seeding and transplanting than by those implementing direct-seeding only. Use of more fertilizers and agricultural chemicals in direct-seeding in all regions may indicate its technical instability. Major problems causing the technical instability of direct-seeding cultivation should be solved by comprehensive research considering various farming circumstances such as topographical features rather than just a top-down style research and extension.

  • Objective: This study investigated the effects of feeding anthocyanin-rich black cane treated with ferrous sulfate and molasses on animal performance, rumen fermentation, microbial composition, blood biochemical indices, and carcass characteristics in meat goats. Methods: Thirty-two Thai-native×Anglo-Nubian crossbred male goats (14.47±2.3 kg) were divided equally into two groups (n = 16) to investigate the effect of feeding diet containing 50% untreated anthocyanin-rich black cane silage (BS) vs diet containing anthocyaninrich black cane silage treated with 0.03% ferrous sulfate and 4% molasses (TBS) on average daily gain (ADG) and dry matter intake (DMI). At the end of 90 d feeding trial, the goats were slaughtered to determine blood biochemical indices, rumen fermentation, microbial composition, and carcass characteristics differences between the two dietary groups. Results: Goats fed the TBS diet had greater ADG and ADG to DMI ratio (p<0.05). TBS diet did not affect rumen fluid pH; however, goats in the TBS group had lower rumen ammonia N levels (p<0.05) and higher total volatile fatty acid concentrations (p<0.05). Goats in the TBS group had a higher (p<0.05) concentration of Ruminococcus albus but a lower (p<0.05) concentration of methanogenic bacteria. The TBS diet also resulted in lower (p<0.05) thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances concentration but higher (p<0.05) total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase concentrations in blood plasma, while having no effect on plasma protein, glucose, lipid, immunoglobin G, alanine transaminase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Meat from goats fed the TBS diet contained more intramuscular fat (p<0.05) and was more tender (p<0.05). Conclusion: In comparison to goats fed a diet containing 50% untreated anthocyanin-rich black cane silage, feeding a diet containing 50% anthocyanin-rich black cane silage treated with 0.03% ferrous sulfate and 4% molasses improved rumen fermentation and reduced oxidative stress, resulting in higher growth and more tender meat.

  • As increasing trade through the world, especially in food, asymmetry of information can make the trade shrink. With the industrial development, Korea's agriculture had shrunk dramatically. By the result of the nation's industrial restructuring, over than 3/4 of Korea food consumption comes from abroad. And China is an important source of agricultural product to Korea. Increasing family income and increasing importing food consumption, Korean consumers have been interested in food safety. Especially. after experiencing several cases like struggle for safety of GMO food, poultry influenza, lead contained Chinese fish import, mad cow disease, cheating origin, etc. Obviously, those unreliable cases will hinder the increase of world free trade as well as the trust of two countries. Furthermore, distrust will be a cause of adverse selection. So, it need to find a way to solve the distrust which caused by asymmetry of information. And automatic identification procedures can help mitigate asymmetry of information in trade. And it will make Korean consumers can avoid adverse selection. This paper suggests adoption of Auto ID to encourage agricultural trade between Korea and China.

  • The Joseon Dynasty lasted for 618 years, from 1392 to 1910, and is regarded as one of the development periods of Korea in various areas, including politics, culture, economy, and society. During this period, the government undertook various measures to try to change the state of the economy and generally transform people's living standards. These were some of the strategies founded on Confucianism, which focused on the right way to govern and manage the economy to attain prosperity for the society. The present study explores government development strategies for improving the economy in Joseon Dynasty period using comprehensive literature analysis via Kci, Scopus, Web of Science databases. Indeed, agricultural transformations during the Joseon dynasty clearly show that knowledge and innovation were critical for encouraging agricultural growth. Therefore, today's South Korean government can implement technological advancement and research to improve its agricultural value chain and food security. Many farmers lack knowledge about improved methods of practicing agriculture or have inadequate capital to invest in research and development; these issues can be dealt with by the relevant government agencies putting in place necessary policies and creating awareness through educational programs and articles.

  • Agriculture has always been the foundation of Vietnam's economy, accounting for a significant portion of GDP. However, like many traditional industries, Vietnamese agriculture faces many challenges, from inefficient supply chains to unpredictable weather developments. In recent years, Vietnam's agricultural sector has been looking for ways to improve productivity and efficiency by applying modern technology. Among these technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential solution to address the challenges farmers and other stakeholders face in the agricultural supply chain. AI can analyze large amounts of data, optimize resource allocation, and predict market trends, which can significantly improve decision-making in agriculture. However, despite the promising prospects of AI in agriculture, there are still challenges to the widespread application of AI in Vietnam. These include the need for more awareness, technical expertise, and Infrastructure to support AI implementation. In this study, we analyze the current state of AI applications in Vietnam's agricultural supply chain, identify key challenges, and propose strategies to facilitate the integration of AI technology in agriculture supply chains in Vietnam in the digital age.

  • This study postulates a study model to examine the effect on the local economy revitalization of a selection of local resources, the local innovation capability strengthening, the establishment of promotion system and the creation of revenues for the participant groups of the local industry promotion project. To accomplish study purposes, 169 response samples from 85 project groups which drive the local industry promotion project were verified using SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 5.0. The results showed that firstly, the selection of local resources had a significant effect on the local innovation capability strengthening. Secondly, the local innovation capability strengthening had a significant effect on the establishment of promotion system. Thirdly, the establishment of promotion system had a significant effect on the creation of revenues. Fourthly, the selection of local resources didn't have an effect on the revitalization of local economy. Fifthly, both the local innovation capability strengthening and the establishment of promotion system didn't have an effect on the revitalization of local economy. Sixthly, the creation of revenues had a significant effect on the revitalization of local economy. According to the verifications of study model, the revitalization of local economy is achieved by inducing creation of revenues through the local innovation capability strengthening and the establishment of promotion system after the selection of local resources. From these results, this study presents suggestions, limits of study and directions in the future study.

  • Fundamental advances in the biotechnologies are exerting a profound influence on the health care, agricultural, industrial chemical, environmental, and other industrial fields. Korean government are now more and more realizing the importance of biotechnology as a main technology for the 21st century. But any technical progress is largely the result of a complex set of relationships among the firms, institutions and others involved in development. So understanding the complexity is very important to make promoting strategies and it is even critical in the field of biotechnology. The reason is that commercialization of research results in biotechnology is strongly related with the national science bases provided by academic and public institutes. And its applicable industrial sectors are very diverse. So it is very important to make a effective collaboration system among many R&D related agents. This article discusses and compares both USA and Japanese framework of national innovation systems in the field of biotechnology. The American Innovation system encourages basic research in the biological sciences, and fosters the creation of small venture firms that focus on the development of novel products. America's peculiar incentive structure, derived from its research and educational system, financial system, and regulatory environment has driven USA labs and firms to the forefront of many biotechnology fields. The Japanese institutional environment in contrast, supported the strategy of building production expertise. Firms were urged to use the new techniques as a way of leapfrogging into a second generation of bio-products, in that cost and production advantages count. But the strategy was not effective as expected and Japanese firms have remained competent but not prominent rivals. The differing situations in USA and Japan with regard to biotechnology have many suggestions for our bioindustry. In the conclusion of this article, we translate USA and Japan's experiences to some suggestions which guide for promoting Korea's biotechnology R&D and commercialization activities.

  • 공공의 영역에서 공공의 이익과 관련된 정책이나 사안에 대한 사회적 차원의 접근에 있어서'효율성'과 함께'형평성'은 반드시 고려해야 할 양대 축이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 공공 R&D 투자사업 중 하나인 농업 R&D 투자에 대한 형평성 측면에서의 평가의 일환으로서, 과연 농업 R&D 투자로 인해 창출된 혜택이 농가의 소득계층 별로 균등하게 분배되고 있는지, 특히 농가의 경영 효율성에 고르게 영향을 미치고 있는 지를 확인하기 위한 분석을 시도하였다. 분석결과 표면적으로는 공공재원이 투자된 농업 R&D의 혜택은 비교적 고르게 배분되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 하위 30~40%가 상대적으로 많은 편익을 누리고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 농가마다 이질적인 지식 흡수 활용능력을 통제하였을 경우, 그 혜택이 상대적으로 저소득층 농가에 비해 고소득층 농가에 집중되는 경향이 발견되었다. 이는 형평성 차원에서 농업 R&D투자는 매우 역진(逆進)적인'보조금'으로서 기능을 하고 있음을 의미하게 된다. 그러나 이러한 농업 R&D 투자의 역진성은 농가들이 지닌 기술적'필요(needs)'의 이질성에 기인한 것일 수도 있음을 확인할 수 있었는데, 전통적인 관행농업 중심의 저소득층 농가들에 비해 지식영농을 지향하는 고소득층 농가들이 농업 R&D의 결과에 대한 수요가 높아 자연스럽게 혜택도 역시 집중된 것으로 보인다.

  • 최근 농경지의 급격한 감소와 더불어 도시화, 경지정리, 도로공사 및 혁신도시 건설 등으로 토지이용의 변화가 심하게 발생되고 있다. 특히, 토지이용 변화심화지역인 경기도 고양시, 충청남도 천안시, 강원도 원주시를 대상으로 토지 이용변화실태, 토양특성변화양상, 토양도수정내용 및 기업도시 등으로 편입되는 지역의 토양환경분석을 하였다. 이에 대한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 우리나라의 경지면적 (2011년)은 2009년대비 17.3 ha가 감소되었다. 논의 경우 24.2 ha가 감소되었으나, 밭의 경우에는 7.0 ha가 증가하였다. 2. 논의 면적 감소사유로는 논밭전환 (20.7 ha) > 공공시설 (3.2) ${\geq}$ 건물건축 (3.2) > 유휴지 (1.3) > 기타 (0.9) 순이며, 밭 면적의 증가원인은 논밭전환 (20.7 ha) > 개간 (4.5) > 복구 (0.3) 순이었다. 논밭전환의 이유는 논농사에서 농가소득이 높은 밭작물 내지 시설작물로 전환하는 것으로 생각된다. 3. 토지이용변화가 심한 해당시군의 농경지감소 (논, 밭, 과수)는 밭토양조사 (1995~1999) 당시와 비교 (2011년)할 때 고양시는 1,466 ha, 천안시 9,708, 원주시 6,980 ha가 감소되었으며, 1999년 대비 45%~25%의 농경지가 급격히 감소되었다. 4. 환경부 토지이용피복도의 통계자료 활용성을 검토하기 위해 농식품부 통계자료와 비교시 지목별로 큰 차이가 있었다. 따라서, 추후 면밀한 검토를 통하여 활용 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다. 5. 원주시의 토양정보 변경내용을 보면 곡간지의 일부 논토양이 밭 또는 과수원으로 토지이용이 변경되었으며, 배수등급의 경우 도로건설 등으로 인해 저습화되는 등 해당 토양의 일부 특성정보가 변경되었다. 특히, 논토양의 경우 시설재배지, 밭, 과수원, 휴경, 성토화 등으로 토지 이용의 변화가 심하였다. 6. 원주시 혁신도시에 편입되는 논토양은 급지가 떨어지는 3~4급지가 대부분으로 3급지 70.8%, 4급지 29.2%이었다. 밭토양 역시 4급지가 88.7%인 토양으로 우량 급지가 혁신도시 건설에 속하지는 않았다. 앞으로 우량농경지 보전을 위해 제도적 장치의 마련이 필요하다고 생각한다.
