Hwasun-gun to Recruit Participants for 'Living First in Jeonnam' Starting from the 25th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 22nd that it will recruit participants for the ‘Living First in Jeonnam’ program starting from the 25th.

Applications can be made on the dedicated website for ‘Living First in Jeonnam.’

This program is designed for urban residents interested in returning to farming or rural living to experience rural life and agriculture by living in Hwasun for a certain period (50?60 days).

Through this, local governments aim to encourage returning to farming and rural living, while urban residents can experience rural life in advance and explore suitable regions and timing for relocation.

The program consists of two types: general and specialized, and is conducted through cooperation among village leaders, returnees to farming and rural living, and local residents.

The general type offers opportunities to live first by participating in programs such as rural life, field experiences, and farming experiences before returning to farming.

It is held in Deulguk Village in Hwasun-eup, known as the ‘Alps of Korea,’ Noch Village near Baekasan Mountain with its beautiful mountain scenery and valleys, and Baegun Village, named because ‘white cranes circle the village like clouds.’

The specialized type features programs where participants can experience and learn about the sixth industry and specialized skills using primary agricultural products, operated by the Bbommosil Agricultural Cooperative Corporation in Yasa Village, Iseo-myeon, home to the famous Hwasun Jeokbyeok cliffs.

Compared to the general type, it is a relatively professional program.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center said, “Unlike last year, this year we prepared two types of programs, specialized and general, to enhance the diversity and professionalism of the program. The village is making various preparations for this program, and we expect it to greatly help increase the population returning to farming and rural living in the county.”
