The objective of this paper is to analyze management performance of organic farming management organizations in the large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts, focusing on cases of organic farming organizations in Chungnam Asan city and Gyeongnam Sancheong-gun which are leading regions in Korean organic agriculture. The management performance in Asan Organic Farming Organization showed that ratio of operating gain to revenue in 2008~2009 increased by 1.2% point compared to in 2006~2007. The management performance in Sancheong Organic Farming Organization showed revenue gain by KRW 2 million in 2009 whereas it suffered a loss by KRW 24 million in 2008. The management performances implied that the amount of financial performance was not yet large and would be a symbol for soundly developing organic farming organization. This paper suggested that network system, recycling agriculture, and the enlargement of processing industry would be very useful to maximize synergy effect in organic farming organizations in a large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts.

This study analyzed management situations of two organizations that have produced environment-friendly agricultural and processed meat products. 'A' farming corporation sells environment-friendly agricultural products like as grains, vegetables, fruits and processing foods. 'B' agricultural corporation processes and sells environment-friendly processed meat products, specially organic and antibiotic-free beef products. Recently, members and production areas of 'A' farming corporation have decreased because of their aging and labor shortage. And Indices for the management analysis are stability ratio, activity ratio and profitability ratio. Stability ratio indices are debt ratio, net worth ratio, fixed ratio and current ratio. Activity ratio ones include fixed assets turnover and net worth turnover. And profitability ratio is showed through return on investment, net return on sales and return on equity.

As the conventional farming emphasizes the productivity and the quantity produced, large amount of agricultural chemicals have been used. As a result, natural environment and human health are critical issues in recent years in Korea. Reflecting these problems, many farmers have begun to practice the LISA(low input sustainable agriculture) voluntarily across the country. In this study, a survey was made to 13 apple producers who have been producing the fruits by practicing the LISA, and wanted to analyze the production and marketing information in order to suggest the improvement strategies for the sustainable agriculture. Some of the improvement strategies were suggested as follows ; First, advance payment to the LISA apple growers should be supplied in order to make it easier for the financially burdened producers. Also, some kind of means should be developed to prepare the equipments/machineries to make the organic fertilizers. Price differentiation should be utilized in marketing the products, and mass marketing channels for the LISA products should be provided for them. Public quality guaranty is badly needed in order to accelerate the marketing. Finally, stronger producer organizations should be organized and subsidized by the government because those organizations are playing an important role in developing the LISA.

본 연구의 목적은 농업후계자들이 대학에서 전문교육을 받고 귀향한 후 친환경농업을 실천하는 데 따른 어려움을 파악하고 이를 해결할 수 있는 방안을 검토하는 데 있다. 본 연구의 조사대상은 전체 한농대 졸업생 감귤농가 24명 중에서 친환경농업을 실천하고 있거나 실천 경험이 있는 총 8명 중 조사에 응한 6농가이며, 개방형 설문지에 의한 사례 연구 방식으로 분석되었다. 사례농가들의 영농실태 분석결과, 이들은 기후변화 및 시장개발에 대응하기 위해 작목전환과 경영의 다각화를 도모하고 있으며, 농법으로는 한 농가만이 무농약 수준의 친환경농업을 희망하고 있고 대부분 유기재배를 지향하고 있다. 사례농가의 경영비 분석결과, 자재비 기준으로 물재비는 더 적게 들지만 관행농업과 같은 수준의 상품성을 얻기 위해서는 노력비가 더 들어가야 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 친환경농업의 생산량은 관행농업에 비해 20-50% 정도 감소하며, 판매가격은 10-50% 높은 것으로 나타났다. 친환경 감귤농가의 애로사항으로는 유기농업 기술 부족과 친환경농업에 적합한 판로부족이며 규모확대를 위한 토지구입이 어려운 것은 제주 농업이 갖는 특수한 제약조건이다. 졸업생 농가의 친환경농법으로의 전환은 부모님과의 합의가 어려운 문제로 나타나고 있으며, 친환경농업 기술을 자문 받을 수 있는 지역의 창구가 없다는 점이 지적되었다. 졸업생농가가 친환경농법으로 전환하기 위해서는 농업기술원 및 농업기술센타를 중심으로 친환경농업 선진농가와의 연계를 통해서 지속적인 기술교육과 자문이 이루어질 수 있도록 가칭 '제주 친환경 생태 유기농업 포럼'을 구성하여 기술자문 및 현장애로 기술이 개발 보급될 필요가 있다. 친환경 감귤의 적정 가격과 판로를 확보하기 위해서는 제주 지역의 로컬푸드와 연계된 판매활동과 육지의 로컬푸드와의 연계도 필요하다. 안전성과 신선도의 가치를 소비자가 신뢰하고 구매할 수 있는 다양한 유통채널을 확보해야 한다. 대부분의 사례농가의 소득증대를 위해서 장기적으로 체험이나 관광과 연계할 수 있는 6차농업의 농장경영을 구상할 필요가 있다. 다양한 품종의 감귤을 도입하여 다양성을 확보하고 체험 및 관광과 연계시켜 생태 유기농장으로 발전해 가야 한다. 이를 위해서는 국내외 선진 농장을 벤치마킹하고 정책사업과 연계할 수 있는 기반을 조성해야 한다. 한국농수산대학에서는 제주지역 졸업생들이 친환경 유기농업을 통해서 경영의 안정을 꾀하고 지역농업의 리더가 될 수 있도록 연구기관 및 보급기관과 연계하여 제주지역에 맞는 지원 프로그램을 개발하고 이를 바탕으로 졸업 후에도 지속적으로 새로운 정보와 기술을 제공해야 한다.

Conditions of farm crop switching are affected by several important external factors such as agricultural products import opening, policy support, and climate change. Farming environment is always changing; barriers to imports are becoming lower and lower because of FTA and others, and climate change affects a boundary line of cultivation. Those situations give farmers motivation to change crops in order to cope with them. In addition, crop switching has been done in response to the local government measures about purchase of local agricultural products according to the local food and the expansion of organic agricultural products in school meal. Even though the favorable environment toward crop switching has been created, there are not many researches or outcomes regarding crop switching. Only few studies focus on the list of decision-making in crop switching, and locally suitable crop selection is not treated. In order to utilize crop switching as a farm management strategy, the proper frame should be studied and practical researches on application possibility also need. Therefore, study on crop switching is in a timely, proactive manner because farms catch the chance of expansion of school meal by changing crops. This paper applies HERO model used for venture foundation process to crop switching process. Success factors of HERO model are comprised of Habitate, Entrepreneurship, Resource, and Opportunity, and these phased application factors are applied to crop switching process. By doing so, each phase success factor of crop switching can be uncovered. Three farm organizations supplying organic agricultural products to schools are studied in Gyeonggi province. As a result, the stabilization stage cannot be achieved because of the habitate conditions and social conditions with low risk bearing of crop switching and current school meal systems are the main problems to block the diversification of risks. In order to succeed in crop switching, constructing the habitate in local districts or in systems of school meal is more effective than supporting each farm.

It has continuously promoted to scale up the agricultural management body in order to cope with the market-opening pressure such as the UR negotiation, the DDA negotiation, and more conclusions of FTAs and to enhance the competitiveness of our agriculture. This study evaluated the factors associated with production organization participation centered on environmentally-friendly agriculture farmers in order to improve the production efficiency of environmentally-friendly agriculture in the aspect of production. In order to achieve this objective, this study evaluated the factors that contributed to participating in an organization using the bivariate probit model focusing on environmentally-friendly agriculture farmers in Chungnam. This study examined the validity and reliability of the study model through exploratory factor analysis. The results of factor analyses identified four factors: "distribution", "production", "organization operation", and "social capital". The results of the bivariate probit model showed that distribution significantly affected production activities and distribution, organization operation, agricultural income, and gender significantly influenced sale activities. Environmentally-friendly production organization had not been able to provide the productive support that was needed for local farmers to produce environmentally-friendly agricultural products in a region. Additionally, farming education did not provide the information needed by the farmers. Although producers had a network within a production organization, it was operated mainly for administrators. Therefore, participants felt somewhat lacking. This study identified the level of organization of producer organizations in Chungnam area, where environmentally-friendly agriculture is well activated. This study suggested implications for future production organization participation by evaluating factors affecting participation quantitatively.
