To this end, this research identified the current status and improvement needs of the environment-friendly agriculture in Jeju, by using various methods including the review of literature and polices, conducting a survey(505 persons) and in-depth interviews(10 persons) of farmers practicing environment-friendly agriculture in Jeju region. Based on the outcome of the research, policy directions and tasks were proposed such as Jeju-style vision for 'The 3rd Generation of Environment-Friendly Agriculture,' etc.
