초록

정부는 4차산업혁명의 선도사업으로 농업 부분의 스마트디지털 농업기술 사업을 지정하였다. 이에 한국 작물학회에서는 우리나라 식량작물 노지스마트디지털 농업기술의 발전 방향을 알아보고자 작물 분야 및 스마트디지털 농업기술 관련자 207명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며 설문조사 결과, 노지스마트디지털 농업기술은 한국 농업의 구조적 문제를 해결하는 데 도움이 되며 노지스마트디지털 농업기술 발전 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 노지스마트디지털 농업기술 개발에 따른 핵심 인력 양성 및 지속적인 정부의 관심과 노지스마트디지털 농업기술 설비 구축 및 기술 개발의 필요성이 제안되었다. 농업 선진국들의 노지스마트디지털 농업기술의 연구 및 개발 수준은 현장 적용 및 검증 단계, 실용화 단계이나 우리나라는 아직 기술개발 단계에 머무르고 있다. 고령화나 노동력 부족, 기후변화, 지속가능한 발전 등을 위해선 스마트디지털 농업기술의 도입이 필요하다는 의견이 많았다. 스마트디지털 농업기술 확산을 위해서는 기술개발, 인프라 구축 등이 필요하고 농민을 대상으로 한 체계적인 기술 교육이 필요하며 노지스마트디지털 농업기술의 성공적인 정착을 위해서는 장비-데이터의 표준화가 필요하다는 결과가 도출되었다. 나아가 소비자와 다른 농산업 현장에도 적용되어 디지털 전환이 이루어질 수 있는 방향성을 가지고 진행되어야 할 것이다. 노지스마트디지털 농업기술의 도입 및 성공적인 정착은 기후변화 대응, 농업의 친환경성 증진, 노동력 부족의 해소에 기여할 수 있으므로 우리나라의 작물 생산 능력 제고를 통한 식량 안보 강화 측면에서도 필요하다.

Building self-sustainable rural infrastructure and environment through smart digital agriculture technology innovation is one of the major goals of the Korean agricultural administration as a part of the nation's 4th industry revolution. To identify areas for improving and effectively investing in the acceleration of rural development, 207 experts in the areas of crop science and smart digital agriculture technology were interviewed for their opinions and suggestions on 22 questions designed to recognize fundamental agricultural issues to be addressed and solutions to advance technology innovation and rural development. Majority of the participants expected smart digital agriculture technologies to resolve major agricultural issues and help build a better rural environment. To overcome technology gaps and resolve issues more effectively, further investment in training new technology experts and building stronger agricultural technology infrastructure is urgent, and persistent and systematic support from agricultural administration appears to be the key for accelerating the process. While the leading global groups of both public and private sectors have advanced their technologies beyond the field application stage, most of the Korean technologies remain at the early pilot stage. Aging population and lack of labor in rural areas, unknown future climate change, and challenges in sustainable rural development are expected to be resolved by smart digital agriculture technologies. Technological innovations by research institutes should be promptly deployed in the crop production field, and farm training systemically organized by local technology centers can accelerate farming revolution. Standardization of equipment and data systems is another key to the success of digitalization of food crop production and food supply chains nationwide.
