Education on Farming Techniques and Agricultural Information

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province is accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis for the '2025 Returning to Farming and Rural Education Program' until the 21st.

The education program aims to provide systematic basic farming skills training and agricultural information to those planning to return to farming and rural areas, supporting their successful settlement in agriculture and rural communities.

Last year, trainees attended classes by visiting model farms during the return-to-farming and rural migration education program in Hwaseong City. Provided by Hwaseong City

The program is offered in three courses: Basic, Weekend, and Advanced. The education is free of charge. Interested individuals can apply in person at the Hwaseong Agricultural Technology Center or online through the Hwaseong Integrated Reservation System.

The Basic course, which covers understanding returning to farming and rural life and basic cultivation techniques, is for 50 participants and runs from March to April, with classes held every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon for 4 hours each, totaling 15 sessions and 60 hours. The Weekend course targets 60 working professionals who find it difficult to attend weekday classes. It runs from May to June, with classes every Saturday for 8 hours each, totaling 5 sessions and 40 hours. In the second half of the year, an Advanced course will be offered for 20 graduates of the returning to farming education program, involving visits to leading local farms in the area.
