Jangseong-gun Selected as an Excellent Institution for Digital Farming Technology Support by the Rural Development Administration

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Dooseok) announced on the 7th that it won the Excellence Award in the ‘Digital Farming Technology Support National Rural Guidance Institution Evaluation’ hosted by the Rural Development Administration.

The Rural Development Administration selected outstanding institutions for digital farming technology support through two rounds of evaluation for institutions that actively carried out non-face-to-face education, technology dissemination, facility operation, and job creation to revitalize the agricultural sector, which was stagnated due to COVID-19.

The county was highly evaluated for converting collective education and events for farmers, which were suspended due to COVID-19 this year, into non-face-to-face formats and actively utilizing social media such as YouTube.

Its prompt response to the smart farming era also stood out.

It hired professional personnel to promote non-face-to-face farming support projects and conducted online lectures by preparing a dedicated studio.

In addition, it efficiently provided essential farming information to farmers through operating a Kakao Channel counseling center (for returnees to farming and rural areas), producing card news, and one-on-one on-site consultations.

Support for online and offline distribution was also actively carried out, including support for YouTube video production for individual farms, expanding entry into non-face-to-face direct order stores, and operating drive-thru markets.

A county official said, “Next year, we will develop more substantial and diverse farming content,” adding, “We plan to operate steadily so that it can lead to increased income for farmers and fostering of strong small-scale farms.”
