[Kim Young-min, Korea Farmers' News Reporter] #Case 1 The traditional method of harvesting water spinach was limited to three times a year, resulting in low profitability and supply instability. To overcome this, Kim Tae-gyeong, the representative of Dasom Farm located in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, installed a smart farm and a two-layer bed, increasing the number of water spinach harvests to 10-12 times a year. Furthermore, instead of using a high-cost nutrient solution controller, he developed and installed a low-cost smart nutrient supply system based on a metering pump. Kim's challenge did not stop there. To improve the traditional soil cultivation method, which resulted in leftover nutrient solution being treated as wastewater, causing environmental burden and costs, he added the recycled solution to the soil cultivation.

# Case 1 Leeches Harvest Increased from 3 to 10~12 Times Annually Previously, leeches were harvested only 3 times a year, which limited profitability and supply stability. To overcome this, Kim Tae-gyeong, the representative of Dasom Farm located in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, installed a smart farm and a 2-tier bed to increase leech harvests to 10~12 times a year. Furthermore, instead of using a high-cost nutrient control device, he developed and installed a low-cost smart nutrient supply system based on a quantitative pump. The representative's challenge did not stop there. To improve the existing soil cultivation, which resulted in leftover nutrients being treated as wastewater after irrigation, causing environmental burden and costs, he added the leftover liquid to the soil cultivation while irrigating, reducing fertilizer costs and achieving environmentally friendly management. Through self-design and construction, he saved more than 50% of the budget compared to general smart ...
