Abstract

Amid the global population growth and climate change, high-tech smart farm technology that combines agriculture and ICT is actively being researched in Korea to solve sustainable crises such as declining population of agricultural and livestock industries. Existing smart farms are growing mainly on crops with low price competitiveness. Food consumption structures are becoming more sophisticated and diverse, and as agricultural consumption patterns change, the smart farm system also needs to be optimized for growing high-value special crops. To this end, an integrated ICT management system was designed and implemented by establishing a containerized smart farm environment specialized in growing sprout ginseng. Through this, it is possible to implement high-tech agricultural production and lead new future convergence industries through the convergence of ICT, agriculture, and the latest technologies and farming.

전 세계적인 인구증가와 기후변화로 인해 식량부족 문제가 대두되는 가운데 우리나라에서는 농·축산업 인구 감소 등 지속가능성 위기를 해결하기 위해 농업과 ICT를 융합한 첨단 스마트팜 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 기존 스마트팜은 개별 가격경쟁력이 낮은 작물 위주로 재배하고 있다. 식품 소비구조가 고급화, 다양화되고 있으며 농산물 소비패턴의 변화에 따라 스마트팜 시스템 또한 고부가가치 특용작물 재배를 위한 최적화가 필요하다. 이를 위해 새싹인삼(새싹삼) 재배에 특화된 컨테이너형 스마트팜 환경설비를 구축하고 ICT 융합통합관리시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 이를 통해 ICT와 농업, 최신 기술과 농사의 융합으로 첨단농업생산구현 및 미래융합 신산업 선도가 가능하다.
