On March 22, 2023, a 4th Expert Seminar was held under the theme "Technological Innovation and Creating Added Value in Agriculture through Smart Farming". The presenter, Taebyeong Jeon, Co-CEO of MANNA CEA, introduced his company, which pursues a business across the entire value chain, including crop cultivation through smart farming, solution sales, education, and marketing. What makes MANNA CEA special is that its members possess Korea's best smart farm technology capabilities. For instance, the Co-CEO, CTO, and HW team leaders graduated from KAIST, and the company has unique smart farming technology that utilizes an aquaponics system combining hydroponics and aquaculture. The technology has been widely recognized to the extent that it has received organic certification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. MANNA CEA has established farms and operation centers in various countries, including Dubai, Saudi Arabia, the U.S., Japan, and Kazakhstan. As mentioned in the seminar, the country's soil and conditions do not have a significant impact on smart farms. So, if any of us want to build a smart farm in our home country, don't be afraid and try it with them. Then there will definitely be good results!
