Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that it has launched the "Return-to-Farming Doctor" service to support aspiring return-to-farm and return-to-village residents in their stable transition and settlement in rural areas.

The Return-to-Farming Doctor program, which has been promoted since last year, is a project where experts such as senior returnees and leading farmers, called "Return-to-Farming Doctors," provide on-site, hands-on consulting. Last year, 30 consulting sessions were provided for two types of crops, serving as a reliable partner for new farmers.

The support areas are diverse, including ▲rural life ▲information on farmland and housing ▲crop selection ▲cultivation techniques, and applicants can receive direct consultations either at the Return-to-Farming Doctor's farm or their own farm.

Return-to-farm and return-to-village residents can use the "Return-to-Farming Doctor" service to acquire practical information and knowledge from the field, reduce initial trial and error, and receive ongoing support for stable settlement through continuous communication and exchange with local experts.

The service can be used up to five times per person free of charge, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until November this year from city residents wishing to return to farming or those who have lived in rural areas for less than two years. For more details, please refer to the notices on the Agricultural Technology Center website, and those interested can visit the Agricultural Technology Center to submit an application.
