Abstract

This study explores the transition towards sustainable livestock farming, emphasizing the role of policy instruments, challenges in implementation, and future directions. Major OECD member countries predominantly employ regulations, economic incentives, and promotional measures to promote sustainable livestock practices. Regulatory instruments, such as taxes and compliance obligations, are effective in addressing negative externalities, while economic incentives, like direct payment systems, are more accepted by stakeholders. Achieving policy effectiveness requires establishing consistent principles, ensuring stakeholder cooperation, and balancing regulatory and economic support. In South Korea, current policies include financial support for smart facilities, manure treatment, and eco-friendly products. However, there are gaps in greenhouse gas regulations and fragmented support measures. This study advocates comprehensive support systems and integrated manure management to address challenges like manure and odor management, which are critical for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The integration of ICT technologies into livestock farming is highlighted as a means to improve management efficiency and competitiveness. Furthermore, the introduction of a "Sustainable Livestock Public Subsidy System" is proposed to encourage sustainable practices. This includes a certification system covering all production stages, ensuring products meet environmental and welfare standards. This study emphasizes the need for a decentralized subsidy management approach, tailored to regional conditions, to enhance policy effectiveness. It also addresses the importance of fostering a new workforce in the livestock sector, advocating for support for young and female farmers. Finally, the establishment of public-private governance is suggested to facilitate voluntary participation and consensus among stakeholders, ensuring a successful transition to sustainable livestock farming.

韩国可持续畜牧业的政策建议。
本研究探讨了向可持续畜牧业的过渡,强调了政策工具的作用、实施中的挑战和未来的方向。主要经合组织成员国主要采用法规、经济激励和促进措施来促进可持续畜牧业。税收和合规义务等监管工具在解决负面外部性方面是有效的,而直接支付系统等经济激励措施更容易被利益相关者接受。实现政策有效性需要建立一致的原则,确保利益相关者合作,平衡监管和经济支持。在韩国,目前的政策包括对智能设施、粪便处理和环保产品的财政支持。然而,在温室气体监管和零散的支持措施方面存在差距。本研究提倡综合支持系统和粪便综合管理,以解决粪便和气味管理等挑战,这对减少温室气体排放至关重要。强调将信息通信技术与畜牧业相结合是提高管理效率和竞争力的一种手段。此外,建议引入“可持续畜牧业公共补贴制度”,以鼓励可持续做法。这包括涵盖所有生产阶段的认证体系,确保产品符合环境和福利标准。这项研究强调需要根据区域情况采取分散的补贴管理办法,以提高政策效力。报告还强调了在畜牧部门培养新劳动力的重要性,倡导支持年轻农民和女性农民。最后,建议建立公私治理,以促进利益相关者的自愿参与和共识,确保向可持续畜牧业的成功过渡。
