Yoo Gi-sang, Gochang County Governor, "Accelerating Growth Engine through Agricultural and Rural Development"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Yu Gisang, the governor of Gochang County, Jeonbuk, emphasized, "We will accelerate growth momentum through agricultural and rural development that leverages regional characteristics."

Governor Yu Gisang of Gochang stated this during a capacity-building special lecture on the 15th for about 60 local agricultural managers, saying, "We are confident that Gochang County is the only local government that has set a long-term vision for an ambitious agricultural life revolution, aiming to sustain agricultural life culture with sustainable visions and strategies, satisfy companies and consumers, enhance the pride of local farmers, and create healthy future food sources. We will accelerate growth momentum through agricultural and rural development that leverages regional characteristics."

Governor Yu explained the ordinances enacted last year nationwide for the first time, such as the 'Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Cultivation Prohibition Ordinance' and the 'Farmer Support Ordinance for Enhancing Agricultural and Rural Public Value,' stating, "Agricultural products from the pristine land of Gochang have established a nationwide perception of being 'clean and safe.' Especially, messages of support and encouragement are pouring in for the efforts of Gochang County and local farmers to maintain sustainable functions and preserve rural village communities."

Governor Yu urged farmers to embrace the spirit of 'Jariita' (self-benefit through benefiting others).

Governor Yu said, "To create a community where all residents are happy, the civic spirit of 'Jariita,' which means doing good for oneself and others, is essential. I also ask for your participation in making Gochang a land of sharing, volunteering, and donations."
