Abstract

While climate change is a major concern globally, carbon reduction is a significant challenge worldwide. South Korea has committed to raising its greenhouse gas reduction target by 2030 (from the current 26.3% reduction to 40% compared to 2018). This study investigated the perception of Gangwon rice farmers regarding to climate change due to carbon emissions and their awareness of Bio-Char. The study also examined whether rice producers are willing to substitute lime manure with Bio-Char upon receiving information regarding Bio-Char. Additionally, the degree of carbon isolation through the use of Bio-Char was examined. Results showed that use of Bio-Char pellets in rice cultivation contributes to approximately 14.3% of the target reduction in carbon emissions in the agricultural sector. The surveyed rice farmers were amenable to the use of Bio-Char for agricultural production. Particularly, the rate of substitution with Bio-Char increased with positive information regarding its application in agricultural production.
