Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and Daegu City to Hold 'Urban Agriculture Day' Commemoration Event on the 11th

April 11, 2017, Designated as 'Urban Agriculture Day'
Seoul, Daejeon, Busan, Suncheon, and Others Also Participate

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will hold an event commemorating Urban Agriculture Day on the 11th in collaboration with Daegu Metropolitan City.

The ministry announced that it will hold the '2023 Urban Agriculture Day' commemorative event to widely promote the public value of urban agriculture and create an opportunity to form a consensus for mutual growth between urban and rural areas.

Urban Agriculture Day began in 2015 when private organizations declared April 11 as 'Urban Agriculture Day,' and it was designated as a legal commemorative day in 2017.

On the afternoon of the day, at Daegu Dongseong-ro Square (in front of the former Daegu Department Store), the Deputy Mayor of Daegu, the head of the Daegu Regional Headquarters of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, representatives of urban agriculture organizations in Daegu, and others will participate in performances honoring urban agriculture and read the Urban Farmer Declaration. Promotional booths will be set up in the square to offer experiences such as seedling planting and various attractions. There will also be a seedling and companion plant sharing event for urban residents participating in the ceremony.

In addition to Daegu, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will collaborate with local governments and private organizations in five cities including Seoul, Daejeon, Busan, and Suncheon to hold commemorative events. From 10:30 a.m., commemorative events and seedling sharing will be held at locations such as in front of Seocho District Office in Seoul, Daejeon Station Square, Busan City Hall Square, and Suncheonman Garden in Jeollanam-do to celebrate Urban Agriculture Day.
