Goyang High School and the Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation of NongHyup University have linked their curricula to nurture talent with practical skills and entrepreneurship in the smart agriculture field.
Since last year, students from Goyang High School’s Department of Urban Landscape Design have been learning about the entire farming process—including seeding, cultivation, and harvesting—at the smart farm facility established at NongHyup University. They also receive training in digital technology-driven production, processing, distribution, and marketing of agricultural products.
The entrance ceremony was attended by officials from NongHyup University’s Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation, Goyang High School students, and faculty, who shared the educational program for the second half of the year.
The European lettuce grown directly by students during the first half of the year was donated in July to the Deogyang Senior Welfare Center and used as meal ingredients for local seniors. In this way, the achievements from their hands-on training were connected to contributions to the local community.
Bae Seonghwa, Deputy Director of the Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation at NongHyup University, stated, “We will focus our educational resources so that students’ curiosity and expectations can turn into meaningful experiences.”
