Collecting Diverse Opinions to Establish Regional Food Plans

[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeonnam Province, is promoting a local-level food plan research project to establish a comprehensive future food source plan.

On the 24th, the county held an explanatory meeting at Seungdal Culture and Arts Center attended by about 30 representatives from various agricultural sectors including production, distribution, and processing.

The local-level food plan support project aims to establish a sustainable food circulation system within the region to promote sustainable agricultural development and stable supply of agricultural products, protect consumer interests, and improve the income and quality of life of farmers and fishermen.

This explanatory meeting was held to collect opinions and share information among agricultural-related organizations involved in production, distribution, and processing. The county plans to reflect the various opinions presented in the upcoming research results.

So far, the county has secured 100 million won by being selected for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ public contest project as a result of efforts to establish a local-level food plan, and is currently in the process of signing a research contract with Mokpo National University.

Additionally, to gather opinions and share the direction of the food plan promotion, two resident meetings were held with local food members, and an administrative consultative body for establishing the local food plan was formed to build an interdepartmental cooperation system.

The county plans to complete surveys and distribution channel analysis by the end of May and apply for the food plan package support project.

Lee Jin-hee, Director of Agricultural Policy Division, said, “Through the food plan, we will establish a regional circular production, distribution, and consumption system, secure food safety and publicness, and promote the health of residents and revitalization of the local economy.”
