Abstract: Environmentally sustainable technologies may be broadly categorized as end-of-pipe technology and clean technology. Progress towards sustainable technologies in agriculture must call on farmers, agricultural economists, scientists, and government to act as partners in a process of technical change. Within this partnership approach, the government's role has a vital role to play in promoting the Integration of both technologies and disseminating those technologies. As an integrated approach to establish sustainable technologies, Korean-type precision farming such as the integrated pest and nutrient management (IPNM) has the potential to make a major contribution towards improving agricultural practice and then increasing efficiency and reducing the impacts on the environment from agro-chemical wastage.
