[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Technology Institute is recruiting young farmers to participate in the ‘2021 Youth Farmers College’.

The ‘2021 Youth Farmers College’ will be held from the 29th to August 26th, consisting of a total of 24 sessions and 100 hours, including agricultural management analysis and field visits. Considering the COVID-19 situation, online non-face-to-face education will be prioritized.

Applications are accepted through the relevant city and county agricultural technology centers until the 21st, and approximately 30 trainees who are young 4-H members, young farmers, or young farming preparers within the province and meet the requirements for online education will be selected.

The selected trainees will carry out topic- and team-based tasks aimed at early settlement in farming by establishing reasonable farming plans based on the creative ideas of young farmers and creating a stable farming foundation.

In particular, the curriculum is designed to strengthen the management diagnosis and farming plan establishment capabilities of start-up young farmers.

Hwang Gapchun, Director of Support Planning at the Agricultural Technology Institute, said, “We hope this education will provide an opportunity for young farmers in Gyeongnam to upgrade their agricultural management capabilities and grow into professional agricultural managers.”
