Those wishing to enroll should apply by the 14th at the Eup/Myeon offices or at the Residential Agricultural Startup Support Center located in Yongsan-ri, Buan-myeon.

Last year, 87 students completed a total of 100 hours of education, consisting of 4 hours per day from March to November, including basic farming technology education and field experiences at excellent farms.

A Gochang-gun official stated, “We focus on stable settlement of returnees by inviting instructors who provide agricultural information, senior returnees who have successfully settled, and leading farms equipped with agricultural know-how and technology.”
