Now, in 2025, we face a landscape vastly different from that of the past. The challenges we confront are both complex and interconnected. The climate crisis has moved beyond warnings and has become a tangible reality, with extreme weather events threatening global food production. Supply chain instabilities driven by geopolitical conflicts are a stark reminder that food security is a matter of national security. Domestically, the “demographic cliff” and the crisis of rural extinction are no longer distant fears but urgent realities requiring immediate action.
However, crisis breeds innovation. Agriculture in Korea 2025 documents how Korea is turning these challenges into opportunities for a “Great Transformation.” We are witnessing the dawn of “Future Agriculture”―where data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace pure physical toil, and smart farming expands from greenhouses to open fields. We are seeing the rise of “K-Food,” where Korean agricultural products, backed by safety and quality, are captivating global consumers. Additionally, we are embarking on a “Spatial Restructuring” of rural areas, transforming them from declining villages into vibrant spaces of rest, work, and innovation for the entire nation.

The Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) has compiled this report to provide a comprehensive analysis of these dynamic changes. Organized into six chapters, Agriculture in Korea 2025 offers a roadmap for understanding the present and future of our agricultural sector.
