At the meeting, the promotion directions were explained for establishing the Gwangsan-type Food Plan system, including ▲organization of production by small-scale farms such as elderly farmers, family farms, and small farms ▲organization of consumption through expansion of related markets ▲activation of operation of public-private governance organizations ▲establishment of a comprehensive Food Plan, and opinions of attendees were collected.

Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, said, "What is important in the Food Plan is to reflect the diverse opinions of citizens as the main agents and establish and implement a plan suitable for the reality of Gwangsan," and urged, "Related departments and public-private sectors should maintain an active cooperative relationship together."

Starting with the commencement of the service, Gwangsan-gu plans to promote small-scale meetings, recruit citizen committee members, and hold public-private governance forums involving farmers and consumers from this month to collect diverse opinions from various sectors.
