Jangseong-gun's Promotion of '5 Key Food Plan Tasks'

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong County, Jeonnam (Governor Yoo Doo-seok) is promoting five key tasks of the Food Plan this year.

According to the county on the 4th, the Food Plan is a comprehensive food strategy that plans the entire process of local production, distribution, and consumption of food to provide safe and healthy food on consumers' tables and guarantee stable income for farmers.

The five key tasks of the Food Plan are ▲ Establishing a stable year-round local food production and supply system ▲ Building infrastructure for providing safe food ▲ Establishing an integrated food management system ▲ Expanding the food consumption market ▲ Activating public-private governance.

The county plans to nurture agricultural participants in the Food Plan on a scale of 1,500 farms by next year, and through the ‘Small and Medium-sized Farm Foundation Project’ again this year following last year, it will support the establishment of a new cropping system to enable stable supply of agricultural products to direct stores and public meals.

Additionally, it plans to build the Gwangju Area Local Food Direct Store and Public Meal Support Center, which is expected to play a major role in securing sales channels for small and medium-sized farms and handle integrated distribution for public meals, as well as the Local Food Processing Center, a joint processing facility for small and medium-sized farmers.

To expand the food-related consumption market, the county will strengthen direct transaction activities, enhance public meal distribution functions, and establish a win-win cooperation model with the Nonghyup to expand the local food supply ratio to 50%.

Furthermore, starting next year, a public-type operating corporation will be established to strengthen the public nature of the food business.

Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, “The Food Plan is expected to be a new turning point for Jangseong agriculture,” and added, “We will focus on building a wealthy rural area where stable income can be generated just by farming.”
