Agricultural Policies in a Post-modern Society

In the 21st century, the environment of Korean agricultural policy is changing rapidly. The society is no longer leaded by a single Grand Narrative. People begin to prefer variety rather than monotony. In this context, we can say that the society enters into a post-modern era. The purpose of the paper is to suggest a direction of agricultural policy in a post-modern society. In the paper, several socio-economic conflicts emerged recently are reappraised first. Then some of new academic trends and social movements that are relevant to agricultural policies in a post-modern society are introduced. Lastly, as a conclusion, the importance of the role of the government as a builder of social capital that maintains the least integrity of a fragmented post-modern society is emphasized.
