During the event, the Eco Farm Volunteer Group, a talent volunteer team from Pohang Steelworks, delivered 2,500kg of potatoes directly cultivated by its members to residents in the Songdo-dong and Haedo-dong areas, further spreading warmth throughout the community.

For this sharing initiative, the Eco Farm Volunteer Group rented fallow farmland in the Gigye-myeon area of Pohang, tilled the fields themselves, and personally managed every step from planting to harvest, putting in dedicated effort throughout the entire process.

In particular, the group adopted a new farming method using silicate fertilizer in an effort to grow healthier and higher-quality produce.

The sharing event was attended by around 20 people, including Yoon Dongwoo, Head of External Cooperation at Pohang Steelworks; Kim Sangshik, Head of the Eco Farm Volunteer Group; Choi Junghoon, Head of Songdo-dong; Yoo Hoseong, Head of Haedo-dong; and Kim Giwon, Director of the Pohang Volunteer Center.

Kim Sangshik, Head of the Eco Farm Volunteer Group, stated, "It is very meaningful to be able to cultivate fallow land in Pohang ourselves and share the joy of the harvest with our neighbors," adding, "The Eco Farm Volunteer Group will continue to practice sharing so that we can be a small source of strength for the community and spread warmth to even more neighbors in the future."

Following this event, Pohang Steelworks plans to hold additional agricultural product sharing events, distributing garlic, corn, and other produce to residents in Cheongnim-dong, Jecheol-dong, and other neighborhoods near the steelworks.
