Purpose of Research
○Historically, smart agriculture has predominantly been influenced by the practices of factory farming. Although facility farming is relatively free from technological limitations and has fostered an advantageous environment for enhancing productivity, this singular approach is insufficient to resolve the systemic challenges confronting agriculture, including climate change and labor shortages. Specifically, the advancement of smart practices in open field agriculture, which constitutes a substantial segment of Korea’s agricultural sector, is imperative for augmenting productivity and ensuring sustainability. This study seeks to evaluate the current state of smartization in open field horticulture and to pinpoint critical areas for enhancement, including the expansion of farmer engagement, nationwide dissemination, the bolstering of the private sector’s role, and the optimization of data usage.
