Damyang-gun Advances Agricultural Added Value with Non-Face-to-Face 'New Year Practical Training for Farmers'

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 3rd that it will promote the '2022 New Year Practical Education for Farmers' in a non-face-to-face manner to practice sustainable agriculture, a core industry of our region.

This education program has opened seven courses across six key items including rice, strawberries (soil cultivation, hydroponic cultivation), tomatoes, grapes, and blueberries, which are the county's main crops, as well as Korean beef, to respond to changes in consumer tendencies and to enhance the added value of agriculture.

Due to the nationwide spread of COVID-19 and the continuously changing quarantine situation, rice farming education will be conducted through pre-recorded videos on the Damyang County YouTube channel, while other courses will be held online in real-time using the GurumiBIZ platform.

Applications can be submitted from the 5th to the 21st either by visiting the agricultural counseling offices in towns and townships or the Agricultural Technology Center's Education Management Team, or online via the QR code on the poster.

A county official said, "Although there may be difficulties in applying and participating due to the online format, we hope that local farmers will set concrete goals for increasing farm income through this education and that it will serve as an opportunity to greatly enhance the market competitiveness of our agricultural products."
