This new technology dissemination project focuses on increasing productivity by incorporating the latest agricultural technology and finding ways to respond to climate change. In particular, the key is to expand the introduction of smart farms to build an automated agricultural environment and reduce the burden on farmers.
This pilot project is largely divided into six areas: agricultural safety, crop environment, horticulture, livestock, fruit trees, and floriculture. Major projects include a demonstration project for customized safety management practices by crop, a support project for safe handling of agricultural byproducts, a demonstration project for building a climate-responsive intelligent farm (smart farm) complex environmental control system, a demonstration project for disseminating a breeding management system for a smart Korean beef farm (smart farm), a demonstration project for heat-related illness prevention technology in preparation for extreme heat waves, and a demonstration project for temperature reduction technology for high-quality, stable production of high-temperature floriculture.
In particular, the introduction of smart farm technology is a notable part of this project. If an intelligent farm is built, the growing environment of crops and livestock can be automatically controlled, reducing labor and maximizing productivity.
Farmers and agricultural groups in the Ulsan area can apply for the project, and the application deadline varies by project. The application deadline for the agricultural byproduct safety processing support project is January 20, and the other 9 projects are February 12. Farmers who wish to apply should prepare the necessary documents and visit the Ulsan City Agricultural Technology Center to submit them. Detailed application methods and support qualifications for each project can be found on the Ulsan City Agricultural Technology Center website ( Ulsan Agricultural Technology Center ).
The Ulsan City Agricultural Technology Center will conduct a field survey based on the applications received, and then hold an agricultural-industrial-academic cooperation deliberation committee in February to select the final recipients. The deliberation committee will evaluate the feasibility of the project together with external experts and select appropriate farmers.
An official from the Ulsan City Agricultural Technology Center said, “We plan to increase agricultural competitiveness through the Ulsan City New Technology Dissemination Pilot Project and build a sustainable agricultural environment utilizing smart farms,” adding, “We ask for active participation from farmers and agricultural organizations in the region.”
The impact of climate change on the agricultural environment is increasing. Accordingly, smart farm technology and climate-responsive agriculture are becoming essential elements of future agriculture. Through this pilot project, Ulsan farmers need to actively consider introducing smart farms and utilize technology for efficient agricultural management.
Ulsan City Agricultural Technology Center plans to continue expanding new technology dissemination projects to increase farm income and promote sustainable agricultural development .
