Abstract: With the rapid industrial development of Korea in the 1970s,the peasants remaining in the countryside were forced to give up their traditional way of production to copy the western mass agriculture under the banner of green revolution.The excessive use of pesticide had caused environment pollution and disintegration of rural society.Faced with the severe situation,the famous Korean ecologist Kyung Soo Chon put forward the concept of “harmony with eco-agriculture”,advocating respecting the local management mode in agriculture and livestock farming,and making a harmonious relationship between man and the surrounding environment.He suggested that technology should be introduced properly;that technology should connect man and environment,and it should not to be judged by whether it is labeled with “science” or not.This paper,from a point of eco-agriculture,evaluates Dr.Kyung Soo Chon’s idea,hoping that it might be useful in constructing an eco-agriculture in our country.

Key words: harmony with eco-agriculture, proper technology, agricultural ecology
