Major projects include ▲organic rice production projects to preserve agricultural ecosystems and strengthen rice industry competitiveness ▲eco-friendly agricultural product production complex development projects to supply safe agricultural products in accordance with eco-friendly school meals ▲low-temperature vegetable stable production projects and strawberry high-bed projects for responding to climate change. Support projects for management improvement education and consulting for strong small-scale farms are also underway.

The center plans to conduct field surveys on matters necessary for project implementation, such as applicants' farming scale, and select 12 projects after deliberation by the Agricultural Industry-Academia Cooperation Committee.

Applicants can visit the Technology Promotion Team at the Suwon Agricultural Technology Center by the 30th of this month and submit an application form for project participation and required documents (local tax payment certificate, business registration confirmation, and resident registration transcript).

The application form can be downloaded from the Suwon City website (http://www.suwon.go.kr) by selecting 'Sector Information→Finance and Economics' tab at the top and then the 'Agricultural Technology Center' notices.
