Bringing Hope with Ultra-low-cost Agriculture(ULC)
●

Greenhouse farming in Qingdao, China, 
running completely fuel-free in the winter
Just one hour’s flight from In-
cheon Airport and you can
see these greenhouses.
They are sitting 1 meter (3.3
ft) below the ground.
Pile up the dug-out soil so as
to make a slanted wall and sit
the greenhouse on it. The
slanted soil wall will collect
heat during the day and emit
it during the night. This keeps
the house over 12℃ (53.6℉)
in the winter.
This is not in an experimental
stage. It was popularized
over 30 years ago and prac-
ticed by numerous farms.
Compare that to Korea
where we neglect these
kinds of simple, cheap and
effective technology but pur-
sue energy-consuming and
costly methods such as
solar-powered or under-
ground heating systems.

biggest organic food market in the world. How shall farmers prepare for this
change? ey must obtain organic certiication that proves the international-
standard quality of their produce. If they can further manage to lower the
price, it will be even better. 
Already, premium organic markets in China are selling at prices higher
than Korea. Price gap is narrowing rapidly. China should be seen as a rising op-
portunity.
