Abstract:
"Global warming is recently a major issue in the world because influences of climate changes
increase beyond control. Many countries in the world suffer from the changes, and South Korea
cannot avoid them. Specifically, Daegu Metropolitan City, one of the fourth biggest cities in South
Korea, is vulnerable to the climate changes because of the geographical and topographical
characteristic. It is located in a basin surrounded on all sides by mountains. This unique feature
accelerates effects of climate changes on Daegu Metropolitan City by rising in the temperature.
The increasing temperature changes the plantation pattern of Korea and threatens food security
such as plant diseases and insects. Moreover, major crops in the cities move northwards. In
the future, food systems in Korea will change, losing and gaining agricultural products. These
changes will impact on human life because eating is important to humans. Thus, Daegu needs
enough preparations for the potential damages. Adaptation for the changing agriculture has been happening, but it was not enough. We need a
different approach to agriculture to adapt to climate changes and not to make grobal warming
worse. Vertical farming can monitor and control the levels of air, water and nutrition to provide
optimum growing requirements; therefore, it can be established in any climatic region globally.
Moreover, environmentally-friendly agricultural system such as recycling water can help global
warming reduce. Thus, vertical farming will provide comprehensive food supplies in Deagu
Metropolitan City in Korea."
