Farm Map
Republic of Korea
The Farm Map digital solution improves agricultural administration and farming efficiency by creating an aerial image-based digital map of farmlands. It improves the accuracy and efficiency of farmland surveys, pest control and drone operations and other agricultural activities by providing precise locations and detailed information about farmland blocks. As the first digital farmland map in the country, the farm map should be acknowledged for its unique service. Interest from the private sector is growing, particularly as its use of drones increases. The Farm Map uses ortho-images, administrative data and soil maps from agricultural promotion areas to manage these areas and evaluate candidate sites for potential agricultural promotion status based on soil suitability and land slopes. This solution allows for spatial information-based management of agricultural promotion areas, helps establish a management system that considers soil suitability and land slope and supports preliminary inspections for lifting agricultural promotion area statuses by linking relevant data on soil suitability grades, land slopes and areas.
