Presenting Practical Measures Based on Cases from Other Regions

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, successfully completed education on sustainable food strategies for public officials.

According to the county on the 15th, during the November regular meeting held the previous day at the Expo Park Theme Video Hall, about 250 public officials attended and received education on sustainable food strategies for our era.

This education was conducted to enhance public officials' understanding of the regional food plan and to build consensus on the necessity of establishing a comprehensive food plan.

The county invited Nayoungsam, CEO of Community Link Cooperative and a food plan expert, as the instructor, providing in-depth education on ▲ the current status of Hampyeong-gun's food and consumption ▲ deriving food plan strategic tasks through cases from other regions ▲ execution strategies for Hampyeong-type comprehensive food plan tasks ▲ and future roadmaps.

In particular, based on cases from other regions, consensus was formed on the policy vision Hampyeong should pursue, and practical measures were proposed, such as distribution methods for agricultural products produced by small-scale and marginal farmers through local food, receiving great response.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik stated, “To ensure the stable implementation of the Hampyeong-type food plan, we plan to secure approximately 22 billion KRW in package support project funds through competitive projects, and we are also preparing for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ competitive projects. We will explore Hampyeong’s food strategies from various angles to improve the production and distribution of local agricultural products, increase income for small and medium farmers, and guarantee the basic food rights of residents.”

Meanwhile, the county was selected for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ ‘Regional Food Plan Establishment Support Project’ competition, and since April, it has been establishing a demand-centered food plan execution plan, forming a consultative body to gather voices from all sectors, and promoting the Hampyeong-type comprehensive food plan to build a virtuous cycle system for local food.
