Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the cultivation pattern and perception, such as safety awareness, of environmentally-friendly organic materials among Korean farmers. The main reason for participation of the environmentally-friendly agriculture was for the production of safe agricultural crops. Compared to small-acreage farmer were more aware about the safety of environmentally-friendly organic materials to the subjects. Accordingly, 23.6% among the respondents with environmentally-friendly agriculture certification experienced the adverse effect by using the environmentally-friendly organic materials, compared to 33.8% of among the respondent without the certification. The experienced type of adverse effects consisted mainly 'eyes itch', 'hands and feet itch' and 'fatigue'. Also, respondent experiencing the adverse effects by using the environmentally-friendly organic materials more comply with the usage standard as how to use marked in wrapping paper, compared to the respondent without experiencing the adverse effects, which indicate that the compliance with the usage standard as how to use marked in wrapping paper is closely related the experience the adverse effects. Further study should be needed for more precise investigation of comment for the farmers in order to suggest the effective improvement in terms of policy or education for their safety.

본 연구에서는 친환경유기농자재를 사용하여 작물을 재배하는 농업인을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하여 친환경유기농자재의 사용실태, 부작용 경험 및 친환경유기농자재의 안전성에 대한 인식도 등을 조사하였다. 조사결과 친환경유기농업에 종사하는 농업인이 친환경농업에 참여하는 가장 큰 이유는 안전농산물을 생산하기 위한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 친환경유기농자재의 안전성에 대해 보통이상으로 높게 인식하고 있었으며, 재배면적이 많은 농업인이 재배면적이 작은 농업인에 비해 친환경유기농자재의 안전성에 대한 인식이 더 낮았다. 친환경유기농업 인증을 받은 응답자의 23.6%와 인증을 받지 않은 응답자의 33.8%가 부작용을 경험함으로써 친환경유기농업 인증을 받은 농업인의 부작용 경험 비율이 낮았다. 친환경유기농자재 사용으로 인한 부작용의 종류는 주로 '눈가려움', '손발가려움', '피곤함'으로 나타났으며, 부작용을 경험한 사람($3.79{\pm}1.15$)이 경험하지 않은 사람($4.15{\pm}0.86$)에 비해서 사용방법을 준수하는 비율이 유의적으로 낮게 나타남에 따라 부작용의 발생 여부는 포장지에 기재된 사용방법 준수 행위와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 해서 정책 및 교육부문의 개선방안을 제안하기 위해서는 농업인을 대상으로 하는 보다 정밀한 의견 수렴 등의 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
