  • 세계 유기농가 수는 약 25만호에 달하며 세계시장의 유기제품판매액은 27,800백만불(2006)에 이른다. 유기축산물 주요소비국은 EU 및 미국이며 주요품목은 우유, 양고기, 쇠고기이다. EU와 미국의 유기식품 시장점유율은 2% 미만이며 이중 유기축산물의 비중은 17%(미국)이다. 유기축산물의 주된 유통통로는 수퍼마?R(유럽), 건강식품전문매장(미국)이며 Tesco, Walmart 등과 같은 대형체인점의 판매비중도 증가하는 추세이다. 국가간 유기축산물교역량은 극히 적으며 주로 개발국 특히 유럽국가 간에 활성화하고 있다. 앞으로의 유기식품시장은 남미, 중동, 오세아니아를 중심으로 급성장할 것이다. 그러나 성장속도는 높은 가격, 유통인프라 미비, 유사유기축산물의 시장진입, 국가간의 인증 기준차이 등에 의해 제한될 것이다. 유기축산 선발국들은 유기농업을 농촌사회의 발전, 농업 생산방식의 다양화, 환경개선 등을 위한 정책적 수단으로 활용하고 있다.

  • In the marginal upland areas of East Java, Indonesia, ruminants provide farming households with tradable assets in addition to manure and draught power. Households are interested in acquiring ruminants at an early stage of household development. This paper discusses farmers' access to cattle via sharing arrangements. In these arrangements owners lend animals to other farmers in retum for a share of the offspring or the profits. Livestock owners only entrust cattle to households with prior experience in livestock keeping and sufficient labour. Details of the sharing contracts differ between villages. Changes in cattle numbers and ownership over time are attributed to patterns of the development of village agriculture and the economic development of farming households. Feed shortages in the dry season bring about short-term changes; cattle numbers decline and the proportion of households rearing shared cattle increases. The institution of sharing plays a major role in replenishing herds after periods of severe drought.

  • The Purpose of this paper is to suggest sustainable strategies of the project for developing large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LSEAD). This study used assessment 3 indicators, efficiency, impact and sustainability of environment-friendly agricultural certification area and farmers, management situations of crop-livestock circulation center, educations for environment-friendly farming, changes of farmer's income and so on. This project has contributed to develop environment- friendly agriculture and model of LSEAD. And for sustainable development of LSEAD, it is necessary to renovate crop-livestock circulation centers, promote organic farming of resource-circulation type, converse to non-pesticide or organic farming of low pesticide one, do active marketing activities, establish a governance system of business projects and so forth.

  • This study was to develope the functional work clothing for livestock farmers. Major demanding performances for livestock work clothing are anti-soil and anti-bacterial properties. On surveys, functional fabrics that have anti-soil, anti-bacterial and waterrepellent performances were developed and the work clothing that have adaptability to body movements were manufactured. The designs of livestock working clothes were two piece and one piece with rubber bade in waist. The thermal responses of subjects wearing the winter working clothes for stock farming worker were measured in the climate chamber($17^{\circ}C$, 40% R.H.). The main results were summarized as follows: Total body weight loss was smaller and the mean skin temperature was higher in developed clothes than the market product. Clothing micro-climate of developed clothes was lower than the market clothes. Subjective sensation did not have significant differences. From the results of various evaluation, developed garments for livestock workers showed better efficiency than the market product.

  • In recent years, disputes are on the increase that noise and vibration by construction equipments and blasting do damage to livestock farming families around construction sites in the construction of a road or a railway. Therefore, the following ways of improvement were presented in solving the existing problems of livestock disputes. $.$ To minimize the damage of livestock farming families by effect assessment of noise and vibration in the region expected to be damaged before the start of construction $.$ To maintain a thorough management system that can reduce noise and vibration during construction work $.$ To apply an adequate measurement method of noise and vibration taking field conditions into consideration

  • This case study surveyed management situations of environmentally friendly farming (EFF) and their awareness situations. Farmers are aging as an average age of 62-year old. The EFF did not increase farmer's income, however, farm income of EFF was more than that of conventional farming. Farm household liabilities showed large deviation among farmers. Livestock and greenhouse farm households have more liabilities because of facilities and feed cost. Farmers of EFF have been also cultivating conventional farming, but they don't plan much conversion intention of conventional farming into EFF owing to lack of differentiated and stable market for their environment-friendly agriculture products. And they are guessing that EFF income will usually not increase more. For increasing of EFF income, they think that it is necessary to enlarge production area, change to high-income crop, develop processing foods, change to organic farming and so on.

  • In this study, chemical characteristics of groundwater around carcass burial areas and those in agricultural and livestock-farming complex areas in South Korea were monitored. Groundwater samples were collected from 166 wells around carcass burial sites and 466 wells around the agricultural areas where carcass burial sites are absent. The chemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, $NO_3$-N, $NH_4$-N, and $Cl^-$) in carcass burial areas and agricultural areas were similar. The $NO_3$-N concentrations exhibited minimal seasonal fluctuations below $30mg\;L^{-1}$ in most of the wells, even in the wells located close to the carcass burial sites; and $Cl^-$ concentrations also showed similar patterns. The chemical characteristics of groundwater monitored in this study indicated that groundwater was widely contaminated by agricultural activities and livestock farming, but probably not by leachates derived from nearby carcass burial sites.
