Hamyang-gun Leads in Providing Care, Healing, and Job Opportunities for Vulnerable Rural Groups

Business Agreement for Social Reintegration Projects.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 25th, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced that it is taking the lead in revitalizing social agriculture, which provides care, healing, education, and jobs for socially vulnerable groups.

Social agriculture is an activity that supports functions such as care, education, and employment through agriculture for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities, the elderly, and children. It has the effect of revitalizing rural communities and creating jobs.

To promote social agriculture, in April, the county signed an agreement for the rehabilitation and social reintegration of socially vulnerable groups using social agriculture with the agricultural corporation Homirang in the county, the Gyeongnam Regional Mental Health Welfare Center, and the Hamyang-gun Public Health Center.

Since then, social agriculture activities such as making rice cakes using edible flowers, wildflower pressed flower crafts, and herb cuttings have been carried out over 16 sessions every Thursday for about 10 registered members of the Mental Health Welfare Center.

A county official emphasized, “Social agriculture, which provides social welfare services for vulnerable rural groups, is important,” and added, “We will do our best to help social farms establish their own operational capabilities.”
