More than 30 participants departed from Busan and visited local agricultural facilities such as the start-up complex and the agricultural machinery rental bank, where they received practical information necessary for preparing to return to farming or relocate to rural areas.

In addition, participants visited strawberry and tomato farms to observe farming sites firsthand and listened to real-life settlement stories from local farmers. The tour also included a visit to Haeinsa Temple, offering an opportunity to experience Hapcheon's cultural and tourism resources.

Attendees shared their impressions, saying, "Hearing explanations on-site and touring the facilities made the process of returning to farming much clearer," and "It was very helpful to actually experience Hapcheon's agricultural foundation and the local atmosphere."

Lee Dongryul, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, stated, "Starting with Busan, we will continue to operate various support programs so that those wishing to return to farming or relocate to rural areas from Gyeongnam, Daegu, and other regions can settle in Hapcheon stably."
