ABSTRACT
The objective of this
study was to provide a macroscopic evaluation review of environmentally-friendly
agriculture (EFA) status and then suggest policy recommendations for promoting
EFA in Korea. Amid considerable challenges, including food security, many
small-scale farms with increasingly aged farm population and growing
competition, agri-environmental indicators (AEIs) and EFA certificate performance shed light on
the fact that the trend of the state of the environment reversed, albeit with
room to improve. Identifying positive contributions to EFA made by target-oriented
long-term EFA plans and the direct payment scheme, this paper suggests to
enrich the agricultural information systems, a system approach to
agri-environmental resource management, and make a transition toward the low
inputs farming systems.
KEYWORDS
Environmentally-friendly agriculture, agri-environmental indicators, nutrient balance, direct payments, low inputs farming system, best management practice.
