INTRODUCTION to KEFIC

Purpose and Hope

Our main purpose is providing the practical and latest information on environmental farming for the advanced growers. In Korea, the situation of agriculture is becoming worse like the other countries in Asia. The devastation of soil originating from excess use of chemicals and successive cultivation, opening the market of agricultural products are the main problems now in issue. From the foundation, KEFIC is trying to provide useful informations to solve such problems for the growers.

Our purpose is collecting useful and latest informations on the environmental farming technology and provide such informations to the growers. Nowadays the world is becoming very close in a very fast speed. We also agree to the free trade of agricultural products. But the trade should be of mutual interest in all countries and should not destroy the agri-ecosystem. For that purpose we hope to play an important role to Korean and other country's growers.
