Precision agriculture is well established in North America, Europe, and Australia, where production fields are relatively large. Recently, precision agriculture has attracted interest and has seen limited adoption in Asian countries including Korea, where fields are 0.3 to 1.0 ha in size. Reasons for this interest include: (1) social concern regarding environmental problems such as ecosystem damage and ground water pollution from the heavy use of agricultural chemicals, seen as necessary to increase yields to feed rapid increasing populations on a limited amount of arable land, (2) global demands for environmentally safe agriculture, (3) pressure to strengthen the value of agricultural products to survive in competitive global markets, and (4) labor shortages due to an decreasing and aging rural population. 중략.
