Lee Gang-rae Preliminary Candidate "Establishment of 'National Healing Agriculture Center' on Livestock Farm Site"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Kang-rae, a preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea for Namwon, Sunchang, and Imsil in Jeonbuk, announced on the 27th, "We will utilize the site of the Livestock Genetic Resources Center in Unbong, which was relocated last November and spans 660,000 pyeong, to establish the 'National Healing Agriculture Institute' and the horse-themed park 'Let's Run Park.'"

Candidate Lee stated, "There is a trend in advanced countries to shift the new trend in the agricultural sector from agritourism to healing agriculture," adding, "The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Rural Development Administration plan to foster healing agriculture as a future growth engine industry."

He also said, "In consultation with the Korea Racing Authority, we plan to create a 'Rehabilitation Riding Center' and 'Let's Run Park' to develop the Honam region into a hub for the horse industry."

He emphasized, "The 'Let's Run Park' operated by the Korea Racing Authority is currently run in the metropolitan area, Jeju, and Yeongnam to contribute to national economic development and public leisure through the horse industry, but it is not operated in the Honam region. To promote a national-level project, the power of a senior ruling party member is necessary, and only by completing such projects can we lead groundbreaking growth in the region."
