이 연구의 목적은 농업 재래지식(indigenous knowledge)이 농업생산과 환경에 미치는 중요성을 알아보고 농업 및 환경교육에 그 필요성을 제시하는 데 있었다. 우리 나라에서는 농업재래지식은 조상 대대로 농업작부체계에서 매우 유용한 농업기술로 이어져 왔다. 그러나 현대의 과학 농업기술에 의하여 최근에 농업 재래지식의 활용은 급감하였고, 이에 대한 체계적인 연구나 보전이 매우 미흡한 상태에 있다. 그러나 미국, 일본, 케냐 등 많은 국가에서는 여전히 농업 재래지식이 농업생산 및 농촌개발 과정에서 그 적용율이 $9{\sim}27%$ 정도로 나타나고 있다. 농업 재래지식은 자연농법 및 유기농법과 함께 중요한 환경보전 기술이므로 실태 파악과 그 보전 방안이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

Rural Environmental Planning (REP) is a method used by citizens in small towns and rural areas to plan their own future. REP assumes that the primary social value of rural people is to enhance a community's longterm viability by respecting the carrying capacity of the natural environment. REP derives its strength from the direct participation of those people affected by a plan. They determine its goals, shape its content, and implement its components. And both the rural environmental planner and the citizens involved in planning in their community must have a working knowledge of the legal framework of planning. In the results, REP reduces the cost of planning by drawing public agencies, not-for-profit organizations, volunteers from the private sector, and all vital resources available to rural people when they plan for their future.

Volunteerism, as one type of citizen participation, can help local governments to cut down administrative expenditure and contribute to rasing of democratic consciousness in community. In this study, researchers examined the practical use of volunteerism in America. And discussed diverse incentives to voluntary service and rewards for volunteers. Local governments in Korea have suffered under lack of human resource and public finance. By positive introduction of volunteerism, they may obtain the desired results.

It is nearing the establishment of KAC(Korean Agricultural Chamber) as an institution for intensive reflection of farmer's public opinions in agricultural administration. In this study, researchers examined the management of Agricultural Chambers in France and Japan, which have experienced the action of Agricultural Chamber in advance of Korea. And discussed the anticipated change in agricultural extension taking advantage of departure of KAC. Discourses and movements to establish KAC is putting pressure the existing agricultural extension system into innovation. Taking a side view that there were little contribution of agents belonging to the existing agricultural extension agencies, the problem of restructuring agricultural extension system has assumed very serious dimensions. Therefore, agents in agricultural extension agencies should lay their own view before the probable reorganization of agricultural extension system.
