Smart Farm Research Center
Gyeongsang National University Smart Farm Research Center was selected as the Agricultural Research
Center support project in April 2017 to secure core technologies in agriculture and foster excellent researchers
in the agricultural industry by integrating agriculture and information and communication technology (ICT /
IoT). Currently, At the Smart Farm Research Center of the University, the research and projects underway
consist of three core tasks: the development of key technologies for livestock smart farms, the development of
smart farm core technologies for horticulture facilities, and smart farms management systems. the research is
underway to develop stable development by combining IoT technology
Through these efforts, we will improve the productivity and profitability of high value-added agricultural
products in the international competition and solve the problem of spreading smart farms and encroaching
imported products through localization of high-performance equipment. In addition, we expect to be able to
solve the disparity in labor supply and demand among the labor and related companies through the cultivation
of excellent professional manpower. It is my call for the next generation to build a strong foundation for contin-
ued development of smart farm research. I hope that our research will be the basis of the next generation of
food and jobs, and I will do my best to do so.

04 Limitations of Smart Farm Popularization

Localization Standardization High-tech Lack of professional

manpower

·Investment cost ·Lack of information of farms ·The ageing of rural ·The ageing of rural populations
·Maintenance cost ·Lack of network architecture populations and low birthrate
·Agri-environmental ·Diversity of management ·Environment variable ·Evasion of agriculture
difference equipments ·Agricultural Products Quality ·absence of education

05 Smart Farm Professional Manpower Training

Until the present : Professional Manpower Future : Professional Manpower is getting

focused on agricultural production Smart and Advanced Engineering

· Existing agricultural research focuses on agricultural
production, biotechnology, genetic smartization
· High cost, risk factor of popularization of technique
· Advanced agricultural research will be a smart
approach through engineering management
· Potential growth is possible through localization and
standardization of advanced technology
· Commercialization and exportation will expand
industrial and increase of economic effect
· Practical benefits for farmers will generate through
supply of farm households and education
