[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Gyeongsan City in Gyeongbuk opened a public urban farming farm on the 21st to provide city residents with an opportunity to enjoy a leisurely life.

Now in its second year of operation, the Gyeongsan City public urban farming farm received more applications than the initially planned number of participants. This seems to reflect the increasing value of urban agriculture and the growing demand for eco-friendly food.

The public urban farming farm is located near Jinmot in Sincheon-dong, Gyeongsan City, covering a total area of 1.27 hectares, with 294 garden plots (224 plots of 12㎡ and 70 plots of 21㎡) and convenience facilities such as a parking lot, management warehouse, and portable restrooms.

The garden crops will be cultivated using eco-friendly farming methods, and the lessees will be provided with cultivation technique education as well as various eco-friendly fertilizers and farming tools necessary for crop cultivation.

Lee Jin-suk, Director of the Rural Development Division, said, “This will be an opportunity for citizens to enjoy a healthy life through productive and nature-friendly urban farming garden activities and to become closer to agriculture.”
