The purpose of the farmstead-specific early warning service system for weather risk management is to develop custom-made risk management recommendations for individual farms threatened by climate change and its variability. This system quantifies weather conditions into a "weather risk index" that is customized to crop and its growth stage. When the risk reaches the stage where it can cause any damage to the crops, the system is activated and the corresponding warning messages are delivered to the farmer's mobile phone. The messages are sent with proper recommendations that farmers can utilize to protect their crops against potential damage. Currently, the technology necessary to make the warning system more practical has been developed, including technology for forecasting real-time weather conditions, scaling down of weather data to the individual farm level and risk assessments of specific crops. Furthermore, the scientific know-how has already been integrated into a web-based warning system (http://new.agmet.kr). The system is provided to volunteer farmers with direct, one-on-one weather data and disaster warnings along with relevant recommendations. In 2016, an operational system was established in a rural catchment ($1,500km^2$) in the Seomjin river basin.

국내 낙농업의 위기를 타개하기 위한 방편의 하나로 6차산업형 낙농이 대두되었다. 낙농업의 6차산업화란 우유 생산과 목장형 유가공, 제품 판매와 체험/관광 등을 목장에서 수행함으로써 부가가치를 창출 취득하는 것이며, 이에 따른 인력과 시간 등의 어려움을 해결하기 위해 AMS의 도입에 관한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 6차산업형 낙농목장의 애로사항과 AMS 관련 사항을 조사함으로써 이에 대한 개선 방안과 정보를 제공하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 총 91개 6차산업화 목장에 대해 우편 및 방문 면담에 의한 조사를 통해 목장 현황, 6차산업과 관련된 농가들의 인식, 문제점, 요구사항 들과 AMS 도입 여부 및 관련 사항을 조사하였으며, 회수된 16개 설문지를 분석에 이용하였다. 연구 결과 6차산업화 목장의 규모와 형태는 다양하였으며, 발효유와 신선치즈를 주로 생산하였고, 소비자들이 방문하여 구매하는 형태가 가장 많았다. 6차산업형 목장에 대한 정부정책에 관해서는 부정적인 평가가 더 많았으며, 목장형 유가공을 통한 원유적체 해소에 관해서는 긍정적인 반응과 기대가 있었다. 조사 대상 농가들은 '과도한 규제', '판로확보 및 홍보', '자금 부족' 등의 어려움을 가장 크게 느끼고 있었으며, 이에 따라 대기업 수준의 규제보다는 목장형 유가공에 적합한 별도의 규제와 법, 제도를 갖추고 이에 따른 지원과 판로 개척 및 홍보에 대한 지원이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 조사대상 중 AMS를 도입한 농가는 18.75%였고, CMS 농가 중 향후 AMS의 도입을 긍정적으로 검토하고 있는 농가는 38.46%로 나타났다. 도입 이유로는 인력과 시간 문제 해결, 관람 및 홍보 효과, 후계 문제 등으로 답한 반면, 도입에 부정적인 이유로는 유성분 및 유질 문제와 비용, A/S 등의 문제로 답하였다. 본 연구결과를 종합하면, 빠른 속도로 국내 우유자급률이 하락하고 있는 현 상황에서 정부 당국에서 낙농산업의 활성화를 달성하기 위해서는 현재와 같은 과도한 규제를 완화하고, 구체적이고 실효적인 지원책을 통해서만이 낙농의 6차산업화를 효과적으로 유도할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 우군 내 유용한 정보 수집과 기술 향상, 그리고 인력과 시간문제의 해결을 위해 잠재력이 높은 낙농목장을 대상으로 AMS 도입을 위한 지원책도 마련할 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The present study was carried out for 7-months (from October 1.1997 to April 30. 1998) at a rice cultivation area blocked from livestock farming, farmstead and industrial complex to investigate the runoff loading of nitrogen and phosphorus in a plot(5,000$m^2$) paddy field areas. The runoff loading of total-N, amminia-N nitrate-N and total-P were 12.96kg/ha, 5.42kg/ha, 1.52kg/ha and 1.41kg/ha , respectively. When the runoff loading of nutrients was compared by dissolved and adsorbed forms, about 66% of total-N by dissolved form and the rest 34% by adsorbed form were flowed into streams. But 56% of total-P by adsorbed form and the rest 44% by dissolved form were flowed into streams. The phosphrous compounds , which were flowed into streams by runoff sediments and then sedimented, keep exchanging with water at water body in undelivered condition. And it moves gradually into water layer. This process can cause eutrophication continually and repeatedly in water environment . So, a sound program is needed to reduce soil erosion from farmlands.

This study was conducted to research the status, history and prospects of farm scale milk processing and to develop a management strategy for small scale milk process plant in Korea. Also it aims to provide ways to apply it so as to vitalize the farm made milk products market practically. This study was also treats the practical development of dairy farm school programs through the farm scale milk processing. Farm-scale milk plant (FMP) should be some of the ideas to develop small scale and using the resources according to the local features, limited expanding in regional market, produce by consumers order amounts, management policy will be transferred organic dairy farm. A few policy suggestions to put FMP system of financial support would not from beginner, it is better to settled FMP system by government or co-operation group in practical support programs were proposed. What the state needs to do through direct involvement were to put efforts at demand expansion on FMP system products, to certificate and safety the farm made milk products marketing system settings, to build more variation chance of the milk products. What was more important, however, was support policy, to create the network of FMP market and to develop of training program contents for each FMP operation unit. The ideal FMP model for the development of Dairy Farming proposed in this research will be applied as a relevant reference in managing and realizing environmental friendly and sustainable dairy industry at the national level.

Kocuria salsicia can survive in extreme environments and cause infections, including catheter-related bacteremia, in humans. Here, we investigated and evaluated the characteristics of nine K. salsicia strains (KS1-KS9) isolated from cheese brine from a farmstead cheese-manufacturing plant in Korea from June to December, 2020. Staphylococcus aureus American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 29213 was used as a positive control in the growth curve analysis and biofilm-formation assays. All K. salsicia isolates showed growth at 15% salt concentration and temperatures of 15℃, 25℃, 30℃, 37℃, and 42℃. KS6 and KS8 showed growth at 5℃, suggesting that they are potential psychrotrophs. In the biofilm-formation analysis via crystal violet staining, KS6 exhibited the highest biofilm-forming ability at various temperatures and media [phosphate buffered saline, nutrient broth (NB), and NB containing 15% sodium chloride]. At 25℃ and 30℃, KS3, KS6, and KS8 showed higher biofilm-forming ability than S. aureus ATCC 29213. The antimicrobial resistance of the isolates was evaluated using the VITEK^® 2 system; most isolates were resistant to marbofloxacin and nitrofurantoin (both 9/9, 100%), followed by enrofloxacin (7/9, 77.8%). Five of the nine isolates (5/9, 55.6%) showed multidrug resistance. Our study reports the abilities of K. salsicia to grow in the presence of high salt concentrations and at relatively low temperatures, along with its multidrug resistance and tendency to form biofilms.

This study was carried out to investigate the micro-agribusiness realities of dairy farms by surveying both farmers' opinions and consumers' recognition of dairy farm products for in a value-chain analysis. In most cases, dairy farms produced fermented milk for sales and to prepare cheese both for sales and for providing the necessary material for farm visitors. Value-chain analysis did not seem to be a viable strategy for dairy farmers, except when assessing the quality of farmstead milk products in comparisons of dairy farm milks and commercial milk products. Consumers had a wide range of experience with milk products and had no willingness to buy products from dairy farms because of the high cost and the lack of product diversity. Our findings established three strategies for improving the economic feasibility of dairy farms. First, the price should be reduced by adopting a production balance to establish a farm-gate price, i.e., not as quota milk but as surplus milk. Second, consumers should be educated on the prescription of cheese at home. Third, a value-chain based on cooperative partnerships should be established among dairy farms. In addition, to improve the consumers' satisfaction on the diversity and quality of farm dairy products, developments of new value-added milk products made from the milk of cows allowed to graze on mountain pastures are needed.

Molds cause severe cheese deterioration, even though some white and blue molds are used for the manufacture of Camembert and Blue cheese, respectively. The species of Geotrichum, Moniliella, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Fusarium, Phoma, and Cladosporium are the main fungi that affect contamination during cheese ripening. Once deteriorated by fungal spoilage, cheese becomes toxic and inedible. Fungal deterioration of cheese decreases the nutritional value, flavor profiles, physicochemical and organoleptic properties, and increases toxicity and infectious disease. Fungal contamination during cheese ripening is highly damaging to cheese production in Korean farmstead milk processing companies. Therefore, these companies hesitate to develop natural and ripened cheese varieties. This article discusses the recent and ongoing developments in the removal techniques of fungal contamination during cheese ripening. There are 2 categories of antifungal agents: chemical and natural. Major chemical agents are preservatives (propionic acid, sodium propionate, and calcium propionate) and ethanol. Among the natural agents, grapefruit seed extract, phytoncide, essential oils, and garlic have been investigated as natural antifungal agents. Additionally, some studies have shown that antibiotics such as natamycin and Delvocid$^{(R)}$, have antifungal activities for cheese contaminated with fungi. Microbial resources such as probiotic lactic acid bacteria, Propionibacterium, lactic acid bacteria from Kimchi, and bacteriocin are well known as antifungal agents. In addition, ozonization treatment has been reported to inhibit the growth activity of cheese-contaminating fungi.

Architectural embodiment of a national identity has long been a significant topic in Korean architectural circles. For this reason, it must be helpful to examine the so-called, 'National Romanticism' of Finnish architecture around 1900 in that Finnish architects of the time struggled to embody their national identity through their projects. Considering the historical and linguistic affinities between Finland and Korea, the Finnish architectural situation draws . our additional attention. This paper aims at showing its historical background, the meaning of each type of buildings in the stream, and limitations it implies. The atmosphere of Finnish nationalist movement, which was provoked by [Kalevala] publications (1835; 1845) and shown in Karelianism, was heightened by Tsarist Empire's Russification programme of Finland in the late 19th century Architecture was one of the most important genres expressing her national identity. Finnish national romantic architecture could be divided into three. The first is a log house style for artists' studio house, motivated by the Finnish vernacular farmstead - especially by Karelian farmhouse. This type of building signifies the Finns' will to return to their motherly soil. The second is a stone architecture style for public buildings, inspired by Finnish church or castle of an early medieval time. By using roughly-cut granite as the main exterior material, buildings of this type symbolise the toughness of legendary heroes and Finns' desire for national Independence. The third type of building was based on both of the former or more dependent on architects' Imagination and creativity. However, Finnish national romantic architecture has been criticised by some critics owing to its decorative, eclectic and self-indulgent characteristics. Probably, it was not really national but rather inter-national because of the Influences of English Arts and Crafts Movement, the American Richardsonian architecture and the continental Art Nouveau. And the negative images of 'national' and 'romantic' made some historians coin other terms like 'national realism' or 'material realism'. As another limitation, one raises the low degree of its contribution to the entire architectural history. Despite these criticisms, however, this paper argues that Finnish national romantic architecture is meaningful in itself, particularly because it illustrates vividly Finns' struggle to search for their national identity and, after all, their craving for national independence.
