![[INTERVIEW] RDA shares smart farm technologies to improve global food security - Vimarsana News](https://img.koreatimes.co.kr/upload/thumbnailV2/c7e73e59a7ad4531858c116a840cf13a.jpg)
Swinging sickles, harnessing cows to plough and hand-planting seeds at rice paddies are now vestiges of the old agricultural scenes in Korea. In place of those traditional farming methods are smart farms, a rising bundle of cutting-edge technologies to grow crops with computer precision to control their quality regardless of climate conditions.
The government will foster the growth of food crops and specialty crops through the continued development and mass production of high-quality, naturally grown produce. This is an area that has gained traction among global consumers, who are increasingly mindful of the long-term benefits of healthy eating, an agriculture ministry-affiliated research institute said Sunday.
The Rural Development Administration (RDA) hosted the “Korean Culture and Information Service (KOCIS) Policy Forum with the Administrator of RDA” at the Korea Press Center in Seoul, Wednesday, highlighting the RDA's official development assistance (ODA) in agricultural technology, future direction and its accomplishments.
