Achieve a Second Life Through Returning to Farming in Hwaseong City
The Dream Hwaseong Return to Farming and Rural Areas training program has been established to support those returning to farming and prospective farmers, whose numbers have been increasing recently, by promoting understanding of agriculture and advance preparation through basic farming techniques and hands-on learning programs at leading farms to ensure successful agricultural settlement.
The 'Dream Hwaseong Return to Farming and Rural Areas Basic and Advanced Training Program' will commence on April 14, with a total of 60 trainees across three courses: 20 in the basic daytime class, 20 in the basic evening class, and 20 in the advanced class.
The basic daytime class provides education on matters necessary for adapting to rural life and farming techniques by crop type, while the basic evening class is structured as 10 sessions of 2 hours each on weekday evenings, allowing working professionals and prospective returnees to farming and rural areas to participate.
In addition, the return to farming advanced class is structured not only to provide theoretical education but also to build diverse experience by incorporating on-site education and practical training at advanced farms within the city and reflecting the firsthand voices of veteran returnees to farming.
Meanwhile, the city expects that through systematic agricultural technology education and technical skill development, it will cultivate farmers with solid foundations and serve as a cornerstone to help new farmers succeed in agricultural management. Applications for the program can be made through the Hwaseong City Agricultural Technology Center website, and for more details, inquiries can be made to the Green Education Team of the Agricultural Technology Center (031-369-3614~5).
