This dissertation developed a five-story vertical livestock and fisheries farm (palm tower) model for sustainable food production in cities. It proposes to integrate marine farms, livestock raising, and pesticide-free automated crop farms to efficiently use resources and minimize environmental impact. Based on circular economy principles, the model can recycle the output of each part into resources from the other, increasing the efficiency of the system, utilizing idle space in the city, and promoting job creation and community participation. It can also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of food production and improving food safety. In addition, the study explores how advanced agricultural technologies can be integrated into urban structures to address global food security challenges. This model presents potential solutions to the food crisis caused by climate change and population growth, and suggests a direction for the development of urban agriculture. Future research should address the technical and policy challenges for practical implementation.

This study aims to analyzing economy of agricultural investment to the Ukraine based on survey and analysis of environment of agricultural investment to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had been used as a grain belt for Russia for some 60 years among CIS nations so that agricultural environment is excellent and capital investment on agricultural field is on the rise every year. Accordingly, agricultural investment to the Ukraine should be approached not only in economy but also in the dimension of diversification of foreign agricultural investment area and food security. And it is necessary to seek measures for both government and private body to make inroads into the country together.

급격한 기후변화가 지속되면서 농업환경은 다양한 환경적 변화를 직면하고 있다. 기후변화로 일어난 이상기후 중 지구온난화와 이상 강수는 농업활동에 큰 영향을 끼치는 요소로 분석되었다. 특히 이상 강수로 인한 가뭄현상은 작물의 수분 공급을 저해하고 이로 인한 생산량 감소는 영농활동과 식량안보에 부정적 영향을 끼칠 것으로 분석되었다. 현재에도 발생하고 있는 가뭄현상으로 인하여 다양한 관개 방법이 진행 중이나 적절한 필요수량이 아닌 관습적 방법으로 관개를 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라의 1인당 강수량은 세계 1인당 평균 강수량의 1/6 정도이며, 따라서 수자원 절약이 가능한 효율적인 관개수량의 산정이 시급한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 미국 농무성(U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA)와 텍사스 농업생명연구소(Texas A&M Agrilife Research Center)가 개발한 APEX 모델을 활용하여 1) 강수와 작물의 수분스트레스의 관계 및 특성을 평가하고, 2) 대표작물 세가지(고추, 배추, 콩)에 대하여 고정관개 조건에서 생산량과 관개수량의 관계를 분석한다. 그리고 3) 고정관개 조건을 바탕으로 과거 실측자료, 가뭄 시나리오, 그리고 풍수 시나리오에 대한 자동관개 모의를 진행하였다. 이 결과 현재 다양한 지역에서 행해지는 관행적 관개수량과 차이를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구는 향후 수자원 보존을 위한 밭, 논의 적정 관개수량 연구를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The origines of the Western roasting culture and East Asian boiling culture were studied and the importance of primitive pottery culture (8000-5000 BCE) in the Korea Strait coastal region was discussed. The primitive pottery culture probably initiated the Jjigae (stew) culture and the production of salt. It can be also postulated that fish fermentation, kimchi fermentation, and cereal alcohol fermentation originated during this period. Soybean culture emerged ca. 2,000 BCE in South Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula. This paper focuses on the role of Korean foodways in the food science and technology development for the sustainable and resilient food systems. We are facing a global food crisis caused by population growth, climate change, and high animal food consumption. Studies on the meat analog and cultured meat are the new trend in Food Science and Technology. The importance of the wisdom learned through the Northeast Asian traditional foods, for example, soybean curd (tofu) and meaty flavor production by fermentation for the research on the novel sustainable and resilient food systems are discussed.

개발도상국 중심의 전 세계인구 증가추세와 도시화 현상, 경제발전 등의 요인으로 자원 수요량이 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며 글로벌 자원전쟁 및 기후변화는 자원 확보 및 활용에 대한 불확실성을 가중시키고 있다. 특히 필수자원인 물, 에너지 그리고 식량은 서로 밀접한 연관성 (Interconnection)으로 인해 각 자원 간의 상호의존성(Interdependence), 상충관계(Trade-off), 시너지(Synergy)가 존재한다. 이를 인식하고 관련 데이터베이스를 구축하여 통합적인 관점에서 분석하는 것이 물-에너지-식량 넥서스(Water-Energy-Food Nexus, WEF Nexus)이다. 현재 해외에서는 WEF Nexus에 대한 정의를 정립하고 적용방안에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 하지만 국내 연구는 대부분 개념과 필요성 제시에 불과하며, 정량적인 방법들에 대한 분석은 부족한 실정이고, 다양한 적용방안에 대한 연구는 초기 단계에 불과하다. 이에 본 연구는 국내외 WEF Nexus에 대한 정량적 가치평가 연구들을 조사 분석하여, 국내 적용 시의 문제점 및 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 국외에서도 전력, 양수발전, 소규모 수력발전, 원예, 도시농업 등 다양한 분야에서 WEF Nexus 접근방식을 통한 연구들이 진행되고 있으나 실제 구체적이고 명확한 방식에 의해 정량적 가치를 도출한 사례는 많지 않은 실정이다. 그러나 넥서스 접근방법의 긍정적 효과를 제시하기 위해서는 이와 같은 정량적 분석이 시급이 필요한 시점이다. WEF Nexus 접근법을 국내에 성공적으로 적용시키기 위해서는 (1) 자원별 데이터베이스 구축 (2) 다양한 다양한 평가 툴 개발 및 적용 (3) 자원간 통합적 접근 방안이 필요하다. 이러한 과정들 하나하나가 현실적이고 구체화하기 위해서는 아직까지 많은 시행착오가 필요할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 국제사회에서 제한적으로 적용된 다양한 정량화 방안들을 검토하고 국내 적용을 위해서 어떠한 사항들이 필요하고 구축되어야 하는지 제시하고자 한다.

This study uses geo-spatial crop modeling to quantify the biophysical impact of weather extremes. More specifically, the study analyzes the weather extreme which affected maize production in the USA in 2012; it also estimates the effect of a similar weather extreme in 2050, using future climate scenarios. The secondary impact of the weather extreme on food security in the developing world is also assessed using trend analysis. Many studies have reported on the significant reduction in maize production in the USA due to the extreme weather event (combined heat wave and drought) that occurred in 2012. However, most of these studies focused on yield and did not assess the potential effect of weather extremes on food prices and security. The overall goal of this study was to use geo-spatial crop modeling and trend analysis to quantify the impact of weather extremes on both yield and, followed food security in the developing world. We used historical weather data for severe extreme events that have occurred in the USA. The data were obtained from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In addition we used five climate scenarios: the baseline climate which is typical of the late 20th century (2000s) and four future climate scenarios which involve a combination of two emission scenarios (A1B and B1) and two global circulation models (CSIRO-Mk3.0 and MIROC 3.2). DSSAT 4.5 was combined with GRASS GIS for geo-spatial crop modeling. Simulated maize grain yield across all affected regions in the USA indicates that average grain yield across the USA Corn Belt would decrease by 29% when the weather extremes occur using the baseline climate. If the weather extreme were to occur under the A1B emission scenario in the 2050s, average grain yields would decrease by 38% and 57%, under the CSIRO-Mk3.0 and MIROC 3.2 global climate models, respectively. The weather extremes that occurred in the USA in 2012 resulted in a sharp increase in the world maize price. In addition, it likely played a role in the reduction in world maize consumption and trade in 2012/13, compared to 2011/12. The most vulnerable countries to the weather extremes are poor countries with high maize import dependency ratios including those countries in the Caribbean, northern Africa and western Asia. Other vulnerable countries include low-income countries with low import dependency ratios but which cannot afford highly-priced maize. The study also highlighted the pathways through which a weather extreme would affect food security, were it to occur in 2050 under climate change. Some of the policies which could help vulnerable countries counter the negative effects of weather extremes consist of social protection and safety net programs. Medium- to long-term adaptation strategies include increasing world food reserves to a level where they can be used to cover the production losses brought by weather extremes.

Northeast Asia comprises many characteristic cultural areas including China, Mongolia, Korea and Japan. These areas have their own traditional food cultures, and Korea is known as the home of fermented foods in this region. The origin of Northeast Asian fermented foods, cereal alcoholic beverages, fermented vegetables(kimchi), fermented fish and fermented soybean products were investigated in relation to the primitive earthen vessels developed in this region. The geographical and environmental background of the appearance of primitive pottery culture in the Korea Strait region, and its influence on the development of fermentation technology in Northeast Asia were reviewed focusing on Korean dietary culture.

Due to abnormal weather conditions caused by climate change, natural disasters and damages are gradually increasing around the world. Global climate change as accompanied by warming is projected to exert adverse impact on production of potato, which is known as cool season crop. Even though, role of potato as a food security crop is expected to increase in the future, the climate change impacts on potato and adaption strategies are not sufficiently established. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the damage pattern of potatoes due to high temperature treatment and to evaluate the response of cultivars. T he high temperature treatment (35~38℃) induced heat stress by sealing the plastic house in midsummer (July), and the quantity and quality characteristics of potatoes were compared with the control group. T otal yield, marketable yield (>80 g) and the number of tubers per plants decreased when heat treatment was performed, and statistical significance was evident. In the heat treatment, 'Jayoung' cultivar suffered a high heat damage with an 84% reduction in yield of >80 g compared to the control group. However, in Jopung cultivar, the decrease was relatively small at 26%. Tuber physiological disturbances (Secondary growth, Tuber cracking, Malformation) tended to increase in the heat stress. Under heat conditions, the tubers were elongated overall, which means that the marketability of potatoes was lowered. T he tuber firmness and dry matter content tended to decrease significantly in the heat-treated group. T herefore, the yield and quality of tubers were damaged when growing potatoes in heat conditions. T he cultivar with high heat adaptability was 'Jopung'. T his result can be used as basic data for potato growers and breeding of heat-resistant cultivars.

The Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) will guide the development of climate services that link science-based climate information and predictions with climate-risk management and adaptation to climate change. GFCS structure is made up of 5 pillars; Observations/Monitoring (OBS), Research/ Modeling/ Prediction (RES), Climate Services Information System (CSIS) and User Interface Platform (UIP) which are all supplemented with Capacity Development (CD). Corresponding to each GFCS pillar, the Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM) has been proposing "Global Initiatives in AgroMeteorology" (GIAM) in order to facilitate GFCS implementation scheme from the perspective of AgroMeteorology - Global AgroMeteorological Outlook System (GAMOS) for OBS, Global AgroMeteorological Pilot Projects (GAMPP) for RES, Global Federation of AgroMeteorological Society (GFAMS) for UIP/RES, WAMIS next phase for CSIS/UIP, and Global Centers of Research and Excellence in AgroMeteorology (GCREAM) for CD, through which next generation experts will be brought up as virtuous cycle for human resource procurements. The World AgroMeteorological Information Service (WAMIS) is a dedicated web server in which agrometeorological bulletins and advisories from members are placed. CAgM is about to extend its service into a Grid portal to share computer resources, information and human resources with user communities as a part of GFCS. To facilitate ICT resources sharing, a specialized or dedicated Data Center or Production Center (DCPC) of WMO Information System for WAMIS is under implementation by Korea Meteorological Administration. CAgM will provide land surface information to support LDAS (Land Data Assimilation System) of next generation Earth System as an information provider. The International Society for Agricultural Meteorology (INSAM) is an Internet market place for agrometeorologists. In an effort to strengthen INSAM as UIP for research community in AgroMeteorology, it was proposed by CAgM to establish Global Federation of AgroMeteorological Society (GFAMS). CAgM will try to encourage the next generation agrometeorological experts through Global Center of Excellence in Research and Education in AgroMeteorology (GCREAM) including graduate programmes under the framework of GENRI as a governing hub of Global Initiatives in AgroMeteorology (GIAM of CAgM). It would be coordinated under the framework of GENRI as a governing hub for all global initiatives such as GFAMS, GAMPP, GAPON including WAMIS II, primarily targeting on GFCS implementations.
