Head Jo Young-ho said, “Based on the technology and know-how gained from promoting numerous projects such as the Smart Farm Innovation Valley and management practice rental farms, the two organizations will demonstrate synergy through mutual cooperation to realize the dreams of young farmers and create momentum to challenge future agriculture.”
