The event will feature a variety of programs, including an opening and closing ceremony, policy events (such as international conferences and crop-specific roundtables), exhibitions (agricultural products, agricultural materials, and technology pavilions), hands-on activities (traditional liquor tasting and rice ball making), cultural events (regional singing contests and celebratory performances), and competitions (traditional liquor recipes, slogans, and happiness idea contests). In particular, "the Barefoot Man" Cho Seunghwan will deliver a special performance by attempting to break the world record for barefoot endurance on ice.


Through this event, Gyeonggi Province aims to present a vision for sustainable agriculture in response to the climate crisis and to achieve tangible results such as strengthening the technical skills of eco-friendly farmers, stabilizing their incomes, and building trust with consumers.



Park Jongmin, Director of the Department of Agricultural, Fisheries, and Life Sciences at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This national conference will be a meaningful occasion to promote the value of eco-friendly agriculture and discuss the future of agriculture. Gyeonggi Province will continue to develop effective policies to ensure the sustainability of agriculture and the self-reliance of farmers."
