Domestic agriculture is currently experiencing difficulties such as declining and aging rural populations and deepening climate change on the Korean Peninsula. Smart palms and smart agricultural machinery, which combine and combine agriculture and ICT technology to improve the quality of agricultural products and increase agricultural productivity, are attracting attention.
(Smart palm, smart agricultural machinery) Smart palm equipment is becoming a serious problem in domestic agriculture as the decrease in the number of farmers and the aging of the rural population cause a labor shortage in rural areas. It is expected to play a role in replacing the shortage of labor. In addition, the Free Trade Agreement has exposed domestic agricultural products to competition from cheap imported agricultural products, and the need to introduce smart farms and future agricultural machinery has emerged in order to secure the competitiveness of domestic farmers. The development of technologies such as fusion with advanced technologies such as ICT and BT also promoted the introduction of smart palms. Research and development results such as smart farm facility infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT), and remote sensor technology have come out, and their spread is expanding in earnest.
The background to the introduction of smart palms in Japan and overseas is a combination of various backgrounds such as global common factors and problems faced in Japan. First, as a global factor, global population growth can be mentioned. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2009 predicted that the world population would reach 9.2 billion in 2050, but the current level of food production increase would not change significantly and the hungry population would increase. .. Under these circumstances, smart agricultural technology is expected to increase current food production levels and is receiving worldwide attention.
Promotion status
South Korea has the aspiration to accelerate futuristic agricultural machinery such as smart palms ∙ materials and grow into an export industry by establishing "futuristic agricultural machinery such as smart and equipment diffusion measures".
In Korea, the labor force of agriculture is reduced, a new technology designated agricultural machine certification system is implemented for competitive agricultural machines, and 100% of the product price is financed and supported, and new technology is applied to farmers. In support of agricultural machinery, companies are enforcing policies that can actively guide the research and development of new products.
In the last five years, about 53 agricultural machinery models have been designated, and the models include tractors, combines, rice transplanters, livestock equipment, harvest season, lawn mowers, sowing equipment, etc.
The US government, Japanese government, and European Union are also actively promoting smart palm-related policies.
Agriculture that evolves into cutting-edge industry: With the fusion of agriculture and ICT technology, the paradigm shift to smart agriculture using traditional farming methods is in full swing, and agriculture is evolving into cutting-edge industry.
In the world's major smart palm developed countries, ICT such as the Internet, nano, big data, cloud, robots, and unmanned people is trying to incorporate ICT into agriculture in earnest. In countries with super-large agricultural environments such as North America and Oceania, annual yields are calculated, pests and diseases are diagnosed, land water content is measured, index status is measured, harvest time is diagnosed, and crop conditions are observed. We are already using various systems such as drones for monitoring. In countries with super-large agricultural environments such as North America and Oceania, annual yields are calculated, pests and diseases are diagnosed, land water content is measured, index status is measured, harvest time is diagnosed, and crop conditions are observed. We are already using various systems such as drones for monitoring. In addition, the data obtained from these ICT facilities are being actively used to improve agricultural productivity. In other words, it realizes "Farm Intelligence" for smart data related to agriculture.
Suggestions and development plans
In the future, smart palm orders are expected as one of various infrastructure construction projects worldwide. In particular, the proportion of domestic GDP in agriculture is gradually shrinking, and in order to respond to the decline in the agricultural production population and the aging of the agricultural population, we are planning to link futuristic technologies and products such as smart palms to exports. We must continue to explore.
For this reason, it is necessary to secure successful cases of domestic introduction, benchmark overseas advanced smart agricultural technologies, and build a successful model of Korean smart agricultural machinery. In particular, we have to establish a technological and operational foundation so that domestic companies can receive orders for smart palm construction projects ordered in countries with clear four seasons, such as South Korea, or countries with similar climate and geographical conditions.
