Abstract

Agricultural sector in Korea faces the threat of aging farmers and many other difficulties. Because agriculture is a very less-competitive industry in Korea and many solutions to improve the competitiveness of Korean agriculture should be studied. The advent of Internet of things(IoT) technology makes possible many new industries and business models in the current society. The adoption of this new technology in agriculture can bring about innovations in agricultural production and distribution as $6^{th}$ industry. This paper summarizes the opportunities in IoT and smart farm. The major benefits and obstacles in introducing smart farms are reviewed and the cases of two successful smart farms in Korea are analyzed. Through these case studies, we can recognize the current status and future strategies in Korean smart farms.

현재의 농업은 농촌인구 고령화 및 도시로의 인구유출로 인하여 심각한 노동력 부족을 경험하고 있으며, 다양한 경제적 문제를 안고 있다. 4G 통신의 보급으로 시작된 최근 발전 정보통신기술의 확산과 더불어 사물인터넷 기술이 새롭게 대두되며, 다양한 산업과 융합하여 혁신적인 가치를 창출하고 있다. 사물인터넷 기술과 농업의 융합으로 확장된 6차 산업으로 농업은 노동집약산업에서 IT기반의 고부가가치 융합산업으로 발전할 수 있게 되었다. 첨단 농업인 6차 산업의 핵심 구성요소인 스마트팜은 농장제어와 관련한 센서와 장치를 하나의 플랫폼으로 구성되어있으며, 최근 스마트팜은 단순한 농장제어가 아닌, 작물의 생육환경을 분석하고 환경에 맞는 생육환경데이터를 제공하는 방법으로 발전하였다. 본 연구에서는 전통적인 방법의 농업 문제점을 해결하고 생산성 향상 및 수익성 개선을 통한 농촌경제 활성화 방안으로서의 스마트 농업을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 최근의 첨단 정보통신기술이 어떻게 기업에 영향을 미칠 수 있는가에 대하여 스마트 농장을 구축하여 성공적으로 운영하는 사례 농가 인터뷰를 통하여 스마트 농업의 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다.
