Gwangju Agricultural Technology Center Recruiting for 'Local Agricultural Products Value Awareness Education'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Agricultural Technology Center is recruiting participants for the ‘Local Agricultural Products Utilization Value Empathy Education’ to promote distinctive cooking methods using Bitgoeul agricultural products.

This education program allows general citizens to communicate with local female farmer instructors and learn healthy eating habits through cooking practice using local agricultural products.

It is a family-participation practical experience education held on weekends (Saturdays), featuring exploration of Bitgoeul agricultural products, unique cooking methods such as eggplant panini and zucchini boat pizza, and cookie making for children.

The education will be held in five sessions from the 27th to October 1st, every Saturday morning. Each session will recruit 8 families (2 to 5 members including children aged 6 or older), with a total of 40 families expected to participate.

Participants can register on a first-come, first-served basis from the 8th via the online ‘Baro Reservation’ site, targeting citizens (families) residing in Gwangju City. Each family can apply for only one session out of the five.

After applying, participants must pay a self-contribution fee (5,000 KRW) for purchasing Bitgoeul agricultural products to be finally selected as education candidates.

Kim Sira, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “This education is expected to help promote the consumption of local agricultural products through cooking experiences using Bitgoeul agricultural products,” adding, “We will provide more practical education by utilizing local female farmer instructors and strive to create opportunities for urban-rural coexistence.”
