[Asia Economy Yeongnam News Bureau, reporter Lee Sanghyun] On July 8, the city of Miryang in Gyeongnam announced that it is discovering at least one outstanding case of returning to farming and rural migration every month, with the aim of alleviating vague fears about returning to farming, rural migration, and agricultural startups, and supporting stable settlement.

The first outstanding case selected was Lee Changha (39), a young farmer who returned to Muan-myeon in June 2016. He is a former comedian from "Uchatsa" and is now a master of chili pepper farming.

By establishing a smart farm chili pepper facility, he saves time and labor costs, and leads the improvement of Miryang Cheongyang chili pepper quality through eco-friendly soil management practices.

More detailed information, including the preparation process for successful returning to farming and advice for prospective returnees and rural migrants, can be found on the Miryang city blog and the Miryang City Returning to Farming and Rural Migration Integrated Support Center website.

Starting with the discovery of this outstanding case, the city plans to introduce various rural settlement stories and promote Miryang’s excellent infrastructure for returning to farming and rural migration through the Miryang city blog, official website, and Miryang City News.

Choi Yonghae, head of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, "Since returning to farming and rural migration requires years of preparation and consideration, I hope that sharing various cases will be helpful to many people. I also strongly encourage listening carefully to the advice of those who have already made the move."
