As 30 faculty members of the Department of Agriculture Biotechnology devoted their endless effort to develop the consortium, six-year annual grant amounting 2.2 million USD is supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology since 2006.
The realization of research areas and goals, described in the section pertaining to the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, is supplemented by research grants from industries totaling roughly 0.7 million USD per year. The consortium supports graduate students enrolled in the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology with research assistantships, overseas travel grants to participate in international meetings, and long term study fellowships in internationally renowned universities. Providing post doctoral training and employment opportunities as research professors is an additional goal of the consortium. A number of research professors and postdoctoral fellows are currently affiliated with the consortium.

The ABC (Agricultural-forestry Bioresources Convergence) Center is based on the Department of Agricultural, Foresty and Bioresources, which includes about 40 professors, integrating five majors (Crop Science and Biotechnology, Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, Forest Environmental Science, Environmental Materials Science, and Biosystems Engineering) that have developed throughout its long history.
It aims to break the framework of nurturing specialized professions such as crops, gardening, forestry, pregnant engineering, and natural fibers, train creative talents who lead the convergence of biological resources beyond the walls of majors, and set specific innovation goals for green bio-industry. In order to achieve its innovation goals, the ABC Center actively supports 32 professors, 170 graduate students in Master, Doctoral and Integrated PhD programs, and a number of outstanding research personnel.

The Global Smart Farm Educational Research Center aims to train graduate students to have creative skills with convergence knowledge, collaborative learning, and good moral character in the field of smart farming, i.e. digital agriculture, thereby promoting the development of global smart farm research and industry in future. The Research Center provides students with advanced training in an interdisciplinary program consisting of the agricultural sectors of engineering, science, education, and economy by integrating new sciences that underpin the 4th Industrial Revolution, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics,
Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT), into traditional agricultural sciences.
With its convergence major ranging from Agriculture Science and Engineering to Humanities and Sociology, beginning from September in 2020, the Global Smart Farm Educational Research Center has 20 faculty members whose majors are crop science, precision agriculture, agricultural machinery, agricultural environment, agricultural economy, and education, and about 50 graduate students who enrolled in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in the convergence major of global smart farm at Seoul National University.
