Returning to Farming, Experience and Choose Yourself... Seoul City Recruiting 60 Applicant Households

Monthly Housing and Education Costs Provided: 90,000 to 150,000 KRW
Available at 8 Agricultural Startup Support Centers Including Hongcheon and Jecheon

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 6th that it is recruiting 60 households to participate in the 'Residency-type Return-to-Farming Support Project.'

This project provides Seoul citizens with up to 60% support (90,000 to 150,000 KRW per month) for living and education expenses for up to 10 months. Anyone residing in Seoul can apply for return-to-farming education held at eight locations nationwide by the 31st.

The feature of this project is that participants can prepare for returning to farming by living directly in rural areas with their families. This year marks the 4th year of the project, and the number of households supported has increased from 28 in 2017 to 41 last year, with plans to support up to 60 households this year.

Seoul has signed agreements with eight cities and counties including Hongcheon, Jecheon, Muju, Gochang, Gurye, Gangjin, Yeongju, and Hamyang, and operates residency-type agricultural startup support centers, enabling various practical trainings.

Details on participant recruitment and application methods can be found on the Seoul Metropolitan Government website. For related inquiries, contact the Seoul Regional Coexistence Economy Division or the agricultural technology centers in the respective regions.
