Abstract

Plant factory was started in Europe in the 1960. Thanks to the development of seeds science, nutrient study, environment control technology and automated systems, it has developed into the form of full artificial light system. In recent years, productivity of plant factory has increased with the convergence of ICT. An interest in plant factory has increased with several outstanding achievements. However, the plant factory industry is still stuck at an introductory stage and government investment has been reduced. In order to verify the feasibility of the plant factory, we conducted a survey targeting experts in politics, R&D and business field. We analyze the feasibility of investment in plant factory and strategies to enhance the competitiveness of plant factory.

1960년대에 유럽에서 출발한 식물공장은 종자학, 양액 기술, 환경제어 기술, 자동화시스템 등 관련 기술의 발전에 힘입어 완전인공광형 식물공장의 형태로 발전했으며, 최근에는 ICT 기술과의 융합을 통해 작물 재배의 효율성을 늘려가고 있다. 국내에서도 식물공장에 관한 성과가 도출되면서 식물공장에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으나 산업 생명주기로 볼 때 여전히 도입기에 머물러 있으며 정부 투자는 점점 줄어들고 있다. 연구자는 식물공장과 관련한 정책, 기술, 사업 분야의 전문가를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 식물공장의 투자 가치를 재분석하고, 식물공장의 경쟁력 강화 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 식물공장 산업의 기회와 위험요인을 식별하고, 식물공장의 고부가가치 창출을 위한 전략을 제시했다는 점에서 연구 의미를 가질 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
