경남정책 Brief

Urban Farm DB summary

A policy brief proposing a regional strategy for Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, to foster agricultural cooperatives ("nongdan" cooperatives). It classifies these cooperative groups into rural types (production, processing, forestry, etc.), urban types — including urban agriculture groups such as weekend farms, veranda gardens, rooftop gardens and school gardens — and common types (daily necessities), arguing that such cooperatives contribute to the economic sustainability and self-reliant development capacity of rural communities. It lists tasks including expanded education, strict adherence to cooperative management principles, strengthened regional alliances, legal and institutional groundwork, promotion systems, business area development, and phased cultivation.
