내용

Busan Agricultural Technology Center (hereinafter referred to as the Center) announced that it will operate a total of three sessions of “Smart Farm Basic Training” for Busan citizens on May 7, 14, and 21.

This program is designed to cultivate future-oriented agricultural talent in response to the digital transformation era and is open to citizens with no prior farming experience. It is structured around smart farm trends and basic theory, and has been planned as a short-term course to support prospective farmers preparing for rural relocation as well as young people seeking to enter the agricultural sector.

The curriculum includes theoretical education covering the concept of smart farms, case studies and entry requirements, growth environment automated control technologies, and government policy directions. It also features field visits to the Smart Farm Control Center and the plant factory operated by the Center.

Applications can be submitted until May 15 through the city’s integrated reservation system at https://reserve.busan.go.kr/index, and up to 30 participants can join each session. The Center expects that participants will gain not only a comprehensive understanding of smart agriculture but also the foundational capabilities needed to enter the smart farming sector.

Meanwhile, the Center plans to conduct satisfaction surveys following the training to identify the educational needs of Busan citizens and to develop a variety of responsive programs. It also intends to offer advanced training for professional farmers to enhance their ability to independently maintain and manage smart farm equipment and systems.

Yu Mi-bok, Director of the Busan Agricultural Technology Center, stated, “Smart farming is a key technology for future agriculture that can address challenges such as climate change, rural aging, and labor shortages. This program is meaningful in that it helps any citizen easily understand and take on the challenge of smart farming.”
