[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gui-yeol] Yeongju City, Gyeongbuk Province, is promoting the "Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Settlement Support Project" to help new return-to-farming and return-to-village residents settle stably in the new year.

According to Yeongju City on the 10th, the projects implemented this year include a settlement support project for those wishing to return to farming and villages, a housing repair cost support project, a scholarship support project for university students' children, a moving cost support project, rental fee support for return-to-farming houses, and a design cost support project for return-to-farming farmhouses, totaling six projects.

Applications for the return-to-farming settlement support project and the housing repair cost support project for return-to-farming and return-to-village residents will be accepted until the 26th of this month. The other four projects will accept applications year-round until the budget is exhausted.

In addition, the city has prepared a program to restore the village community spirit by strengthening communication between return-to-farming and return-to-village residents and local residents in parallel with these projects. It plans to support urban residents' agricultural settlement by providing information related to return-to-farming and return-to-village in a one-stop manner.

A city official said, "The stable settlement of return-to-farming and return-to-village residents will play a significant role in securing regional agricultural competitiveness and increasing the population," adding, "We hope people will keep an open ear to the various return-to-farming and return-to-village settlement support projects promoted this year."

The Yeongju City Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Association received an excellence award at the 2021 Busan Organic Eco-Friendly Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Expo held at BEXCO (Busan Exhibition and Convention Center) at the end of last year.
