Professors, experts, and staff from both inside and outside the agricultural sector with abundant field experience and farming knowledge will be invited as instructors to impart core farming techniques required for cultivating regionally specialized crops such as pears, paddy rice, and peppers.

The Agricultural Technology Center plans to establish and operate a year-round regular education program for crops not covered during the education period, as well as a new training course for digital and smart agriculture professional managers, which is a future agricultural policy field.
