Macroscopic Trend Analysis

Politic:
Insistence on rural agriculture occupation support counter-method (smart farm expansion, oversea export market diversification), public interest debit system settlement (centered agriculture's public service function) / Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Policy
→ To reinforce agricultural public service function, reserving administration and research basis related to safer agricultural products is needed

Economic:
Incline of agriculture yield (50 trillion, increase of 0.8 percent compared with the previous year: cultivation 30 trillion, livestock industry 20 trillion)
Decline in farmland area (1.6 million ha, decrease of 0.6 percent compared with the previous year) / Agriculture Prospect (2020)
→ Need to develop safe and highly efficient producing technology in order to expand agricultural public service function

Social:
"Expand of safe food" and "graft agrifood onto the fourth industrial revolution" / Agriculture Prospect (2020)
→ Effort to increase food safety from agricultural products is required

Technological:
Increasing investment on agricultural field R&D (increase of 14 percent annual average, 993 billion won / 2019 = 4.8 percent of national R&D) / Agriculture Prospect (2020)
→ Domestic and foreign R&D to respond to agricultural environment change, real world problem solving R&D, increase demand for ICT/BT opportunity dominant factor base / Agriculture Prospect (2020)

Climate Change Crisis

Global Risk 2020:
climate action failure, weapons of mass destruction, infectious diseases, biodiversity loss, extreme weather, water crises, information infrastructure breakdown, natural disasters, cyberattacks, state collapse (Climate action failure, infectious diseases, and biodiversity loss are fundamental for agriculture production.)

Climate Action Failure:
urban structure transition, food crises, consumer goods inflation, water crises, resource competition acceleration, incurrence of labor shortage (Social and economic impact of climate change, IBERDROA, 2019, WHO, 2018)

By disease and insect pest, heavy metal, pathogenic bacterium, defective nutrition management and food hygiene, and etc., harvest in the field of agriculture and stockbreeding is decreasing, and disease and disaster are increasing. Therefore, managing and controlling hazards will be the core element in order to produce stable and safe agro-livestock foods.
