Purpose of Research
○ The final objective of this study is to derive methods for promoting biomaterial agriculture connected with the bioindustry in order to vitalize agriculture. For this, first, the study analyzes the current status of the biomaterial industry at home and abroad and the present state of domestic biomaterial agriculture linked to the industry. Second, the study analyzes the ripple effect of the growth of the bioindustry on biomaterial agriculture, and third, examines support policies and systems related to biomaterial agriculture. Fourth, the study identifies requirements for the growth of biomaterial agriculture, and finally draws methods for fostering the sector.
Research Methods
○ The main target of this study is “biomaterial agriculture,” the agricultural sector that produces raw materials used for biomaterials. To analyze this sector, we focused on examining medicinal crops (including ginseng and tea) and industrial insects (with those for pets and for festivals excluded) most closely linked to the sector. The reasons for selecting the two items are as follows. First, medicinal crops and industrial insects are the most produced agricultural items that can be used for biomaterials, which enables a farm household survey. Second, the two items’ close link with enterprises due to high demand for biomaterials enables an enterprise survey. Third, it is possible to identify the present situation and analyze ripple effects by collecting related statistics.
