Additionally, Jeonbuk Province is continuing projects in four cities and counties to improve the treatment capacity of livestock manure public treatment facilities and enhance odor reduction facilities for efficient operation.

Capacity expansion projects and odor prevention facility improvement projects are ongoing in Jinan-gun, Muju-gun, and Imsil-gun, and since 2022, newly selected national subsidy projects such as the ‘Gochang-gun Odor Improvement Project’ and the ‘Imsil-gun Improvement Project (Biogasification)’ are planned to be promoted.
