Agricultural Facility Environment Lab

The Chonbuk National Agricultural Facility Environmental Engineering Laboratory aims to create a clean, safe and environmentally friendly agricultural and rural environment with the goal of improving the sustainable future agricultural environment. For this purpose, we are making efforts to improve the livestock breeding environment, crop cultivation environment, and worker health environment through field experiments and simulations.

For sustainable agriculture, the fourth industrial revolution in the agricultural sector is emerging in response to the shortage of labor force and the demand for high quality agricultural products, which increases production efficiency and economy. We are conducting research on precision agricultures in agricultural facilities (housing, greenhouses) using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and IoT (Internet). Based on computational fluid dynamics simulations and field experiments, we can provide indoor and outdoor environments (temperature, humidity, ), Aerosols, and viruses.

precision agriculture research has been mainly focused on sensor-based monitoring, data collection, and remote control. However, precision agricultures can not be applied with the introduction of simple systems. Consideration should be given to farmers using the system as a base. In the future, it will be necessary to develop an automatic environmental control system using artificial intelligence algorithms that can reduce the entry thresholds of people who start agriculture and collect big data. To this end, it is necessary to study various sensing technologies and automatic environmental control systems that can acquire data effectively. The precision agricultures and the fourth industrial revolution, which are carried out only to improve agricultural productivity, are difficult to achieve sustainable growth in the long term. The important thing is the understanding of the rural space and the interest of the farmer. Through the improvement of living environment and work environment, we are conducting research on precision agriculture to make agriculture day without aggravation.
