Hwasun-gun Conducts 'Group Meal Utilization Class Using Our Rice' Training

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Bok-gyu) announced on the 14th that it conducted an education session titled ‘Utilization of Our Rice in Group Meals’ at the Hwasun Office of Education, attended by 60 participants including local principals, vice principals, supervisors, and nutritionists.

The education was organized to foster a correct understanding of rice and to cultivate practical experts in the consumption of our rice.

On the day, the session included theoretical guidance on promoting next-generation rice consumption in group meals and cooking methods using processed rice products.

Rice baking expert Nam Seon-joo lectured on a recipe for sweet potato rice bread, which uses domestic agricultural products to resemble sweet potatoes in shape and taste while being nutritious. She also introduced a rice bread-making kit, which received great responses from the participating group meal officials.

A supervisor who attended the education said, “I was glad to learn how to make healthy snacks that can be introduced to children who prefer bread over rice, and I hope there will be education where children can make rice bread themselves.”

An official from the Hwasun Agricultural Technology Center said, “We ask schools to make efforts so that students can recognize the importance of consuming our rice,” adding, “We plan to systematically conduct crop cultivation and dietary education through the ‘Rice Cultivation Experience Program for Students.’”

Meanwhile, the Hwasun Agricultural Technology Center and the Hwasun Office of Education signed a business agreement in April to revitalize sustainable agriculture and rural areas.
