[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] On the 9th, the Jinrye-myeon Administrative Welfare Center in Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam announced that it harvested 1.5 tons of barley by creating a barley field on the riverbed land where illegal farming was rampant.

The Jinrye-myeon Administrative Welfare Center plans to use the proceeds from selling the harvested barley as donations to help neighbors in need within the community. The upstream riverbed area of Hwapocheon, which flows through the center of Jinrye-myeon, had long suffered from illegal farming and various agricultural waste.

Kim In-su, head of Jinrye-myeon, said, "We transformed the illegally farmed land into a waterside space for residents and have seen fruitful results," adding, "This has achieved a win-win effect by creating a resident-friendly waterside area and generating income to help neighbors."
