This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of fresh meat versus frozen-thawed meat during cold storage. Eight loins were obtained from 4 pigs and four loins from right side were stored at 2℃(control). The other four loins from left side were frozen at -40°C for 24 hours, then thawed with 18°C running tap water(18℃) for about 8 hours and stored at 2℃. And next day, the refrigerated meat and thawed frozen meat were divided into three equal portions and randomly assigned to one of three aging periods(4d, 11d, and 18d). As a result of the analysis, noticeable higher drip loss(p<0.001) and cooking loss(p<0.001) were observed in treatment loins compared to control loins. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in drip loss and cooking loss among aging periods. In addition, there was no significant difference in moisture between treatment and aging. The WBSF value decreased as the aging period increased(p<0.01), and it was higher in treatment loins than control(p<0.05). Where as there was no significant difference in volatile flavor compounds and protein degradation except 2-Decenal, (E)-, Hexadacanal, 2-pentyl furan.

In rural areas, the number of farms is decreasing and the aging of the farming population is progressing. In this situation, the use of agricultural work agency projects conducted by Nonghyup was analyzed in order to resolve the shortage of labor in rural areas and reduce operating costs. The overall satisfaction of rice farmers' participation in the agricultural work agency project was high, but it was necessary to secure the speed of the work, staff skill, and agricultural machinery. In addition, the work stage required distribution of harvesting work or linkage with other projects.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the actual condition of job demand in the agricultural and fishing villages in Buan-gun. For the actual condition analysis, the target companies were identified based on the administrative data of Buan-gun, and a field survey was conducted. According to the results of the study, there is demand for jobs, and simple labor jobs at the basic wage level were preferred. In order to vitalize these jobs, it was expected to establish governance by forming an intermediate support organization for jobs in agriculture, fishing, and rural areas, and then the local governments would actively participate in job support. Moreover, in order to vitalize jobs in Buan-gun, an intermediate support organization for jobs should be established to operate practical and hands-on programs for the manpower management between the demand and supply, and those who are looking for a job, develop direct dealing businesses and stay-type tourism products, create jobs through connecting with agricultural process field, and actively foster the operation body of the social agriculture and healing agriculture. In addition, new jobs should be created. In other words, it is possible to provide jobs of helping services for teenagers, elderly people, and children of foreign families, and create jobs related to various commentators, performance group, or playing culture. It is possible to create new jobs in the field of production, processing, distribution, and service of agricultural products by providing farmland through developing idle land and may create jobs such as farming start-up, distribution of agricultural products, agent of agricultural work (drone, agricultural work, agricultural machine work, etc.), using idle facilities in the region (facility house or common facility), hands-on and accommodation facilities, processing facilities, restaurants, or markets. In particular, it is hard for young people to secure initial investment for start-up company, so the intermediate support organization should provide information and support establishment of business plan linked with the government's youth start-up support project.
