[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] The social enterprise supported by SK Innovation, 'Cheonnyeon Nuri Jeonju Bread' (hereinafter Jeonju Bibim Bread), has started cultivating eco-friendly wheat and barley fields.


According to SK Innovation, Jeonju Bibim Bread has been directly farming wheat and barley on a 99,000㎡ field in collaboration with the Jeonju agricultural complex since October to preserve the rapidly disappearing domestic wheat and barley fields.


Approximately 1 kg of wheat is produced per 3.3㎡ unit in this wheat field. Through this, 2.5 kg of oxygen is emitted and 3 kg of carbon dioxide is absorbed.


Jeonju Bibim Bread plans to expand the farming area to 330,000㎡ next year, not only supplying clean oxygen but also contributing to job creation for farmers, the elderly, and people with disabilities.



Jeonju Bibim Bread utilizes labor from vulnerable groups to produce and distribute over 30 types of bread reflecting Jeonju's characteristics, such as Jeonju Bibim Bread, Tteokgalbi Bread, and Choco Pie, made with eco-friendly domestic wheat and grains.
