Under the vision of stabilizing farm income and ensuring healthy food for residents, eight major promotion strategies and 20 policy tasks were presented for establishing the Jindo-gun local food plan.

The Jindo-gun local food plan includes the entire process of production, processing, distribution, and consumption of agricultural and marine food products produced locally.

The county plans to establish a comprehensive plan to guarantee the basic right to food for residents, such as customized food production and supply, and ensuring fresh and safe food, as well as to build a sustainable food production system.

Furthermore, the establishment of the Jindo-gun local food plan holds great significance from the perspective of revitalizing the local economy, including securing stable sales channels for small-scale farmers and fishermen, supporting the settlement of returnees to farming and rural areas, and creating jobs.

County Governor Kim Hee-su stated, “For the comprehensive food plan to be well implemented, continuous communication, cooperation, and execution strategies are important,” and added, “We will do our best to establish a food plan unique to Jindo so that all residents can be guaranteed healthy and safe food.”
