Purpose of Research
○A plant factory represents an advanced approach to agriculture, employing sophisticated technology within a greenhouse to regulate the growing environment. Within this context, a vertical farm, characterized by multi-level indoor cultivation, serves as a specific type of plant factory. It represents the next wave of agricultural innovation, leveraging advanced environmental control systems to enhance both yield and quality in an automated farming setting.
○Smart farms and plant factories represent proactive responses to the evolving landscape of agriculture, including challenges such as climate change and labor shortages. They are increasingly viewed as a promising new growth engine. Recently, the government has announced its ‘New Growth 4.0 Strategy 2023 Implementation Plan and Yearly Plan’. This initiative includes the announcement of plans outlined in the ‘Roadmap’ to establish an urban complex vertical farm by 2027 and to facilitate the development of large-scale smart farms led by the private sector.
