Computational Science Meets AI Agro-Fisheries Products
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST; President: Dr. Seok-Jin Yoon) and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT; President: Chun Jin Kim) signed an MOU on June 18 at KIST’s headquarters to expand utilization of big data in the agricultural and fisheries industries and strengthen digital competitiveness.
Under
the agreement, KIST will utilize its computational science and artificial
intelligence technologies to analyze aT's big data related to agricultural and
fisheries food production, distribution, and consumption within the food and food
service industries, in order to stabilize supply and demand for agro-fisheries products
and promote the transition to a digital environment. In addition, joint
research will be conducted for the development of practical and demonstrative
technologies that can be applied on-site, such as improving agricultural
productivity through the data analysis of high-end facilities such as smart
farms.
The President of KIST, Dr. Seok-Jin Yoon, stated that "this cooperative research will serve as an opportunity for the agro & fisheries industries to be successfully digitized through cutting-edge science and technology, which will be an important foundation for Korea's food security in the future.”
