A STUDY ON THE UTILIZATION OF BIG DATA AND SMART FARM FOR SUCCESSFUL 6TH INDUSTRY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES

Korea's agriculture is facing a crisis due to the expansion of market opening, the decrease in agricultural population, and the aging population. In this situation, the need for a "6th industry" to revive the economy of agriculture is emphasized by the convergence of agricultural-based primary industries, secondary industries and tertiary industries. As a solution to the agricultural problem, it is urgent to improve production and reduce labor through automation, and smart agriculture, which combines IoT technologies, is suggested as a solution. It is also necessary to provide customer demand information for each industry for the 6th industry through the convergence of big data technologies. With the application of the fourth industrial revolution technology to our agricultural sector, all fields from production to distribution and consumption are changing, and new ICT technologies centered on the Internet of Things are actively introduced in the precision agriculture sector centered on smart farms. Under these circumstances, it is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of the 6th industry in agriculture depends on the professionalism of the workforce and the securing of the professional workforce. Therefore, this study intends to examine big data and smart farms for the successful 6th industry and provide implications for fostering professional human resources necessary for them
