Korea National College of Agriculture and Fisheries held a symposium titled ‘Agriculture in the Age of Climate Crisis’ at 1 PM on December 10th. This event aimed to discuss sustainable agricultural development strategies to cope with climate change felt in agricultural fields, connecting agricultural and fishery problem solving with education.
The symposium was attended by faculty members, experts from the Rural Development Administration, Korea Rural Economic Institute, and agricultural industry, students, and farmers. They discussed the impact of climate change on production environments in various fields and scientific and technological approaches to solve these issues. Presentations and discussions were held in the crop, horticulture, and livestock sectors.
In the crop sector, discussions focused on changes in crop production environments due to climate change and response strategies, digital field crop growth diagnosis, and quality management of climate-resilient plant resources. The horticulture sector covered topics like smart greenhouses and precision cultivation automation technology, strategies for regional responses to changes in the distribution market, and strategies to expand exports of fresh agricultural products. The livestock sector addressed livestock management and response directions due to climate change, development of advanced livestock management, and building regional circular livestock systems.
Korea National College of Agriculture and Fisheries plans to use the discussions from this symposium as foundational data to enhance sustainable agricultural and fishery technology development and educational capabilities in the face of climate change. President Lee Joo-myung stated that the uncertainty of agricultural production is increasing as climate change accelerates. He emphasized that this symposium will help share the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector and response strategies, and will be utilized to strengthen climate change education at the college.
