Open data is turning Korean agriculture into an open innovation ecosystem — that's the argument a Kyung Hee University smart farming professor makes in this Money Today op-ed, pointing to the expanding datasets on the Smartfarm Korea platform.
The professor cites JINONG's RAG-based farming assistant as a prime example of the virtuous cycle: public data flowing into private-sector solutions farmers actually use. By combining live environmental data with cultivation guidelines, the service delivers instant advice and automates on-farm decisions — proof, the column argues, that open agricultural data can power a farmer-friendly AI ecosystem.
