○Since its establishment, the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) has operated a system of local respondents selected from rural communities. KREI has surveyed its local respondents at the end of every year to understand changes in farmers’ opinions. With urban residents added in the survey pool in 2006, KREI has tracked changes in the opinions of farmers (producers) and urban residents (consumers and taxpayers) regarding agriculture and rural areas. Through this survey, KREI has identified their policy demand.
○Based on the questions redesigned in 2013, our survey questionnaire included fixed questions and periodic questions (for every year, every other year, or every three years) with respect to agricultural issues.
○The 2022 survey, which targeted 1,500 urban residents and 2,500 farmers, used face-to-face interviews for the former through a pollster and mail questionnaires for the latter.
○Both farmers and urban residents selected a stable food supply as the most important function of agriculture and rural areas in the present. As their important function in the future, however, farmers selected environmental conservation, while urban residents selected a stable food supply.
