[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk Province (Governor Yu Gisang) announced on the 3rd that it signed a 'Food Agreement' with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and Jeonbuk Province to establish a virtuous cycle system for food.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs focuses on various social values of local food such as income stability for small-scale farmers, increasing food trust, and ecological and environmental preservation, and is building a virtuous cycle system for food through the expansion of regional food plans.

This agreement is promoted to increase farm income, create jobs, and revitalize the local economy through food plan package support for local governments selected for the 'Food Plan Package Support Project.'

Earlier, the county was finally selected in April for the 'Food Plan Package Support Project' announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and is conducting annual projects with a total budget of 11.3 billion KRW for 11 projects including ▲ Food Plan APC (Agricultural Product Distribution Center) support ▲ direct store installation support ▲ direct transaction market support ▲ direct store education and promotion support ▲ field crop joint management body fostering support.

Through this agreement, a sustainable virtuous cycle system for food production, supply, and consumption within the region will be established.

In addition, the county plans to promote the establishment of a production system that can supply fresh and safe food to public meals and direct stores through the organization of planned production farms centered on small-scale farmers.

Governor Yu Gisang said, "I hope that this agreement will give momentum to the promotion of the food plan and establish a promotion system that can provide stable income generation for elderly farmers, small-scale farmers, and women farmers, as well as supply healthy and safe food to residents throughout the year."
