Yeongam-gun in South Jeolla Province held a business briefing and safety training to enhance understanding of eco-friendly agricultural policies and strengthen certification management.

The county announced that on March 18, it held an "Eco-Friendly Agriculture Project Briefing and Mandatory Safety Training" for certified eco-friendly farms at the Youth Center.

The purpose of this briefing session was to guide participants through eco-friendly agriculture projects for 2026, focusing on changes in guidelines and major updates compared to the previous year, in order to help farmers better understand the latest developments.

During the session, the main directions and support criteria for major projects such as the eco-friendly direct payment system, organic fertilizer support, and eco-friendly material support were shared. The session especially highlighted the changes to minimize confusion at the farm level.

The subsequent mandatory safety training covered the essential standards and precautions that must be observed in the practice of eco-friendly agriculture. In particular, an official from the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service participated and explained cases in which certification was revoked, such as the prohibition of herbicide application on rice paddy banks and the ban on chemical fertilizer use when cultivating winter crops, emphasizing the importance of prevention.

The county expects that this training will increase participating farmers' understanding of the policies, help prevent certification cancellations, and enhance trust in eco-friendly agriculture.

Woo Seunghee, Mayor of Yeongam-gun, said, "A thorough understanding of business guidelines and strict adherence to safety management are the fundamentals of eco-friendly agriculture," adding, "We will strengthen field-oriented support so that farms can proactively respond to changing policies."

Park Mia, Head of the Agricultural Policy Division of Yeongam-gun, stated, "Through continuous education, guidance, and inspection, we will minimize certification cancellations and further enhance the stability and reliability of eco-friendly agriculture."
