Sinan County in South Jeolla Province was recognized for its outstanding achievements among local governments nationwide by winning the Excellence Award at the "2025 A FARM SHOW Returning to Farming and Hometown Love Expo," held at the AT Center in Seoul.


This award is seen as the result of the effectiveness of Sinan County's ongoing policies to attract returning farmers and new rural residents, combined with the success of its renewable energy initiatives.


The expo featured participation from over 100 local governments and agriculture-related companies from across the country, who provided information on returning to farming and rural life to urban residents and shared a variety of policies to support stable settlement.


The county operated a promotional booth, offering consultations on returning to farming and rural life, and introduced its unique, differentiated policies, attracting significant attention from visitors.


In particular, Sinan County's renewable energy profit-sharing system-represented by the Sunlight Pension and Sunlight Child Allowance-along with practical and tangible policies such as the "Experience Living" program, the Jeonnam-Style 10,000-Won Second House, and the Jeonnam-Style 10,000-Won Housing, received high praise.


These policies not only support the continuous influx and stable settlement of returning farmers but also demonstrate Sinan County's emergence as a model local government for sustainable rural strategies.



Building on this award, the county plans to continue its proactive administration and effective policies for attracting returning farmers and new rural residents, aiming to drive mutual growth for both local residents and newcomers.
