본 연구는 귀농 준비, 귀농지 주변환경, 귀농 지원 정책, 가족 지지도, 귀농 의도가 귀농 후 만족에 미치는 영향관계를 파악하고, 이를 통해 귀농 지원정책 담당자들에게 귀농 장려가 활발히 이루어질 수 있는 정책적 제안점을 제시하고자 하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 귀농 정책 담당자들은 귀농자들이 혼자 판단하기 보다는 충분히 가족들과 상의할 수 있는 정보들을 제공해 주어야 할 것이고, 귀농의 준비를 다양화함으로써 귀농에 대한 접근성을 높여야 할 것이다. 둘째, 귀농 정책 담당자들은 귀농지 주변에 대한 인프라 구축과 함께 마을 주민과 청년회 및 부녀회 등을 통해 농촌생활의 정보를 쉽게 접할 수 있도록 SNS, 유튜브 등을 개설하여 귀농생활의 즐거움과 귀농성공에 대한 정보를 제공해 줌으로써 귀농에 자신감을 심어줄 수 있는 정책을 마련해야 할 것이다. 또한 젊은 층이 귀농 및 귀농 정착을 할 수 있도록 각종 편의 시설 제공, 귀농자 모임 결성 등을 통해 젊은 농촌 만들기에 노력을 해야 할 것이다. 셋째, 귀농 정책 담당자는 귀농자에 대한 맞춤형 지원 정책(예: 1년간 귀농해보고 정착하기, 농지 무상지원, 기관에서 판로 확보 보증제, 선진국 견학, 농지 시설현대화 지원 100% 등)을 마련해야 할 것이다. 또한 이러한 정책이 귀농으로 이어질 수 있도록 홍보 전략을 강화해야 할 것이다. 마지막으로 귀농 정책 담당자들은 농사 외에 부수적인 경제 활동꺼리(거주지에 대한 숙박 제공-에어비앤비, 귀농 전 자신이 가지고 있는 전문성과 직장 업무와 관련된 재능 기부, 농촌 체험 등)등을 할 수 있도록 귀농자들에게 지원을 해야 할 것이다.
