[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 9th that it will operate four courses this year for 780 Seoul citizens who wish to return to farming or rural living: the Return-to-Farming and Rural Exploration Course, the Rural Living (Countryside Life) Course, the Return-to-Farming Startup Course (Comprehensive), and the Return-to-Farming Startup Course (Practical). All four courses are offered free of charge.

As interest in returning to farming and rural living grows, Seoul City plans to support citizens in settling stably in rural areas by operating courses for 470 participants in the first half of the year and 310 in the second half. Recruitment for the first half courses, starting in March, will begin on the 15th through the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center website.

The courses are tailored to the target audience, offering options depending on whether participants are preparing for countryside living or aiming to change careers to agriculture and start a business. The second half courses will begin in August, with course information and registration announced in July on the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center website.

Cho Sang-tae, Director of the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We will operate field-centered education so that Seoul citizens who wish to start a business in the agriculture sector, which is gaining attention as a new opportunity, or plan their second life, can systematically prepare for returning to farming and rural living.”
