[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Toyota Motor Korea announced on the 11th that it is recruiting 45 families to participate in the '2020 Toyota Weekend Farmers' program.

Started in 2012 and now in its 9th year, the Toyota Weekend Farmers program cultivates vegetable gardens using eco-friendly farming methods without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Some of the crops are donated to the social welfare organization 'Anna's House,' and at the end of the year, participants engage in a kimchi-making event for charity.

This program is conducted in collaboration with the Korea Rural Leaders Central Association and is organized around three themes: 'Sustainable Earth Garden,' 'Zero Waste,' and 'Sharing Love in One Square Meter.' Starting with garden plot assignments on the 30th of this month, participants can experience an eco-friendly lifestyle through various monthly activities over approximately six months until November.

Takemura Nobuyuki, President of Toyota Motor Korea, said, "We hope families will spend happy times together in nature through this year's Toyota Weekend Farmers program," and added, "We ask for continued interest in Toyota Motor Korea's social contribution activities."

The 2020 Toyota Weekend Farmers program is accepting applications through the Toyota Weekend Farmers Cafe until May 24.
