Providing Tailored Information at the Expo from the 30th to the 2nd of Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Sun-ho) announced on the 28th that it will participate in the '2021 Return-to-Farming and Rural Youth Startup Expo' held for three days from the 30th of this month to the 2nd of next month at the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT Center) in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, to promote return-to-farming and rural migration to urban residents.

The Return-to-Farming and Rural Youth Startup Expo is the first return-to-farming and rural migration expo held this year, hosted by Yonhap News and NongHyup, providing customized return-to-farming and rural migration information by local governments both online and offline to urban residents dreaming of returning to farming and rural areas.

Accordingly, at the offline venue, booths for promoting return-to-farming and rural migration and exhibiting and selling agricultural specialty products will be operated.

The county plans to introduce to urban residents its pristine natural environment and differentiated settlement facilities for return-to-farming and rural migration, such as the Residential Agricultural Startup Support Center and Gurye Settlement Nest, and actively conduct consultations on various support projects for return-to-farming and rural migration.

At the online venue, special lectures and talk concerts will be simultaneously broadcast through the official website and Yonhap News YouTube channel to introduce Gurye-gun’s policies on return-to-farming and rural migration, as well as agricultural specialty products and tourist attractions.

Governor Kim Sun-ho stated, "We will focus on attracting return-to-farming and rural migrants as a breakthrough for rural communities stagnated by population decline and aging by providing urban residents who wish to return to farming and rural areas with a correct understanding of rural life and realistic, stable information."

Meanwhile, the county has been increasing the settlement rate of return-to-farming and rural migrants by participating in return-to-farming and rural migration expos last year as well, promoting support policies and providing consultations to urban residents.
