A Study on Development of Test Complex for Natural Circulation Agriculture in Reclaimed Land

Reclaimed land in Korea is increasingly being used for horticulture, grains, livestock, etc. However, soil reclaimed land located in coastal lowland have so high salinity, poor fertility, high possibility of pollution that farming is difficult. Therefore, it is needed to reduce environmental burden and to promote fertility of soil through natural circulation farming. Therefore, we presented sustainable eco-friendly natural circulation model of agricultural resources in reclaimed land. It promotes desalination and fertility of soil through eco-friendly circular farming by integrating horticulture and livestock. To demonstrate the model, the test complex is planned to apply energy and resources circulation between horticulture and livestock focusing on Hanwoo, Korean-bred cattle. Basically high-technical plastic greenhouse-type horticultural complexes and livestock complexes including fuel facility using manure pellet are planned. Additionally, agricultural product processing, sales and distribution centers, themed landscape agricultural complexes, ecological parks, agricultural tourism facilities, and observation facilities were arranged.
