The Economic Impacts of Abnormal Climate Phenomenon on Smart Farm

This study addresses the significant impact of climate change on agriculture and the promotion of smart farms as a response in Korea. It identifies a gap in detailed analysis of smart farm production of institutional vegetables andtheir economic feasibility, as well as a lack of policy measures for stabilizing supply and demand. The research analyzes the economic value of using smart farms to combat abnormal climate conditions, examining Korea's current climate challenges, the status of facility-based vegetable production, and the need for smart farm expansion. It assesses the economic feasibility of expanding smart farm facilities and equipment, proposing measures to enhance the supply and demand stability of facility vegetables. The study finds that in weather disasters, smart farming benefits increase both in open field and facility cultivation. Droughts, causing production drops and price hikes in open field cultivation, further benefit farmers who have transitioned to smart farms. Similarly, those using smart farms in facility cultivation, less affected by drought, also experience production decreases leading to price increases. This study aims to evaluate the economic viability of smart farms for institutional vegetables in responding to climate irregularities.
