Quantification Analysis on the Risk Communication of Agrifood

The purpose of the study is to analyze the Korean awareness structure on the agrifood safety. The study is based on the survey for consumers. It was found out that the degree of confidence about information for safety is far better in consumers organizations and environment-conscious groups and relatively poor in government and semi-government organizations. The Korean consumers are very much concerned about food safety. Thus, the government has expanded food policies to cope with these accidents and related concerns. However, the present government public information structure for safety policies is still insufficient. Information gap can still be felt by both the producers and consumers groups and their degree of confidence in the government needs some enhancement. Therefore, further study should be more focused on how the government could impose effective implementation policies toward an intensive information campaign about agrifood safety.
