Practical non-face-to-face education for farmers is being conducted.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, is launching a practical non-face-to-face education program for farmers in the new year to promote practical farming methods.

Jinju City will actively respond to changes in the agricultural environment and improve farmers' awareness and skills through a non-face-to-face education project conducted from the 7th to the 18th, targeting over 1,200 participants with eight courses including facility vegetables.

The New Year Practical Education for Farmers, held every early year, is basic training to plan and implement farming activities throughout the year. Any farmer residing in the area who wishes to participate can join.

The courses include facility vegetables (strawberries, peppers, zucchini), fruit trees (pear, persimmon), eco-friendly pest control, legal knowledge for farmers, agricultural labor management, and five other courses. Professional instructors conduct each course for four hours.

This year, Jinju City explained that the focus is on disseminating new information and farming techniques centered on specialized cultivation technologies for regionally specialized crops. Key agricultural policies such as the Positive List System (PLS) for pesticide management and the Public Interest Direct Payment System will also be introduced.

A Jinju City official stated, “The New Year Practical Education for Farmers is a program that contributes to increasing farm income by disseminating new farming techniques through specialized courses and helping farmers establish farming plans,” encouraging farmers to participate.
