Gwangju-si Agricultural Technology Center, Recruiting Participants for Agricultural Demonstration Trial Research

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan City Agricultural Technology Center announced on the 3rd that it is recruiting candidates for the 'Farmer Demonstration Test Research Project' until the 21st to develop a smart farm growth model through the collection of agricultural big data.

This research will be conducted from next month until June of next year. The agricultural environment information of farms selected as research project candidates will be continuously collected through an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) control system, and data analysis using Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be utilized to develop an optimal growth management model, including implementing functions to predict growth and harvest volume for each farm.

Selected farmers will install a 'Smart Greenhouse Environment Monitoring System' in their facility greenhouses to check real-time greenhouse conditions (temperature, humidity, CO2, soil temperature, soil humidity, drainage EC, etc.) and receive photosynthesis indicators, irrigation and ventilation timing, and optimal temperature and humidity information.

Applicants must be hydroponic facility greenhouse farmers residing in Gwangju City, have internet installation available, and agree to provide agricultural environment and management data for three years.

Farmers wishing to participate in the research project can apply by visiting the city Agricultural Technology Center in person or via email. Among the applicants, 16 will be selected to proceed with the research.

Yang Hee-yeol, Director of the City Agricultural Technology Center, said, "This research introduces Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology into the agricultural sector, and we will strive to realize data-driven smart agriculture by developing an optimal crop growth environment analysis solution."
