Suncheon-si Expands Participation in Healing Agriculture with Rural Healing Gardens and Companion Fruit Tree Distribution

For Suncheon Citizens, First-Come-First-Served Application for Sale from the 26th to the 28th

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 26th, Suncheon City announced that it will expand citizen participation in healing agriculture utilizing rural resources in line with the lifting of COVID-19 social distancing measures.

To enhance human exchange between urban and rural areas and to raise awareness of the public value of agriculture among urban residents, the city will offer rural healing gardens and companion fruit trees as healing programs linked to farming activities.

The rural healing garden program designates mentor-mentee pairs between urban residents and rural village representatives or farm owners, operating to help participants acquire crop cultivation techniques and deepen their understanding of rural culture through mutual exchange.

Participants can engage not only in gardening and companion fruit tree care but also in various experiential programs conducted in villages and farms.

This year, a total of 16 families (groups) will be recruited and operated across four locations: two rural experience villages, Juam Yongoreum Village and Nagan Kkotmacha Village, and two healing and educational farms, Nagan Baekkotpine Village and Byeollyang Bitna Farm.

Applicants can apply by visiting the Agricultural Policy Division of the Suncheon Agricultural Technology Center or by email from the 26th to the 28th.

Participants will pay a designated subscription fee and can start managing their assigned garden plots from the 9th of next month.

A representative from the Suncheon Agricultural Technology Center stated, “We will provide citizens with mental and physical healing spaces so that nature and rural areas can become places where families create happy memories, and we will foster a healing agriculture model where urban and rural areas can grow together.”
