[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jaehee] Gimje City, Jeonbuk, has taken steps to support school meals by supplying eco-friendly agricultural products produced locally to ensure safe food for local students and to revitalize local food.

According to the city on the 21st, to guarantee safe and fresh food for local students and to promote local agricultural products, a school meal support business agreement ceremony was held the previous day with the Gimje Office of Education (Superintendent Jeong Daeju) and the Jipyeongseon Eco-friendly Meal Support Cooperative (CEO Yoo Jaechang).

In 2014, the city designated the Jipyeongseon Eco-friendly Meal Support Cooperative as the operator of the Gimje Eco-friendly Agricultural Products School Meal Supply Center to facilitate smooth supply and demand of eco-friendly agricultural products and signed a supply agreement for eco-friendly agricultural products for school meals.

Through this re-agreement, the plan is to prioritize the supply of excellent local agricultural products, and the Office of Education will cooperate to ensure active use in schools.

Mayor Park Junbae stated, “We will do our best to supply excellent agricultural products and processed goods produced locally to school meals so that local students are guaranteed safe and fresh food.”

Meanwhile, the Gimje Eco-friendly Agricultural Products School Meal Supply Center, equipped with low-temperature storage facilities and preprocessing facilities, was completed last month with an area of 315.01㎡ and is supplying school meals.
