[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil County (Governor Shim Min) participated in the '2020 Young Farmers and Returnees Startup Expo' held for three days from the 22nd to the 24th at the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul, to attract urban residents.

This event is a return-to-farming and rural living expo organized by Yonhap News Agency to provide customized information for successful young farming startups and returnees to farming and rural areas, with participation from the government and metropolitan and local governments.

Currently, the county is promoting various projects to ensure the stable settlement of returnees to farming and rural areas and to develop the area as an optimal location for return-to-farming and rural living.

For returnees to farming, up to 10 million KRW per household is supported for income-related projects such as economic crops and forest products.

The housing purchase, new construction, and repair support project provides up to 5 million KRW per household to stabilize residence for returnees to farming and rural areas, and various other project funds are also supported in fields such as settlement support funds, on-site training expenses, and education and training fees.

A harmonization program with local residents is also operated to support mentoring by senior returnees to farming, help build successful networks with local residents, and promote coexistence and harmony between returnees to farming and rural areas and the residents.

Governor Shim Min said, “To solve the biggest difficulty in the early stages of return-to-farming and rural living, which is securing living space, we operate temporary housing called 'Returnee House.'” He added, “A family training farm for experiential farming is also scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.”
