Hamyang-gun, Seoul Yangjae-dong AT Center ... Participation in Successful Return-to-Farming and Happy Rural Living Expo

Stay-Type Agricultural Startup Support Center and Support Policies

Return-to-Farming and Rural Migration Expo.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun participated in the ‘2022 Successful Return to Farming and Happy Rural Living Expo’ held at the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul from the 24th to the 26th, promoting Hamyang’s agricultural specialties and return-to-farming and rural living initiatives.

This expo was organized to provide hopeful guidance for young and middle-aged people wishing to return to farming and rural living in the smart farm era, and to create an open communication platform connecting urban and rural areas, agriculture and distribution industries, and people with people.

Hamyang-gun operated two booths with six personnel including public officials, counselors, and returnees: one for promoting return-to-farming and rural living, and another for exhibiting and selling agricultural specialties. They introduced Hamyang-gun’s policies on return-to-farming and rural living, including the residential agricultural startup support center. Additionally, they actively promoted the county’s tourism projects such as the ‘2022 17th Hamyang Wild Ginseng Festival’ held for 10 days starting September 2.

With the lifting of social distancing measures leading to an increase in visitors, this expo is expected to provide valuable information for urban residents preparing to return to farming and rural living, promote and sell Hamyang’s clean agricultural specialties, and significantly contribute to the county’s return-to-farming policies and cultural tourism promotion.

Jung Soon-woo, Director of the Agriculture and Livestock Department, said, “Hamyang-gun is the first in Gyeongnam to operate a residential agricultural startup support center and has a natural environment and differentiated support policies. We hope this expo will be very helpful to urban residents dreaming of returning to farming and rural living, leading to an increase in the returnee population.”
