On August 11, the city announced that it held the '2026 Anseong Livestock Odor Reduction Council' meeting at the Food Integrated Support Center conference room, chaired by Deputy Mayor Nam Sang-eun.

This council is a public-private cooperative body established to promote a sustainable livestock environment. Participants include the Deputy Mayor of Anseong City as chairperson, representatives from local livestock organizations, environmental groups, community representatives, and experts.

During the meeting, attendees shared information on Anseong's livestock policy direction, the current status of livestock breeding and related civil complaints, as well as key accomplishments from this year's major livestock odor reduction projects. The participants discussed measures to enhance project effectiveness and addressed management strategies for areas experiencing repeated complaints.

Since 2022, Anseong City has been advancing livestock environment improvement initiatives based on a 'Five-Year Livestock Odor Reduction Plan.' Key elements include supporting group-based smart windowless pig farms, applying strengthened standards for odor reduction facilities, providing compensation for relocating livestock farms, and establishing an ICT-based monitoring system for livestock odors.

The city expects these initiatives to reduce complaints related to livestock odors, while also increasing farm productivity and contributing to the prevention of livestock diseases.

Deputy Mayor Nam Sang-eun stated, "We will continue to actively promote key projects such as smart windowless livestock farms and ICT monitoring, and will collaborate closely with council members. We are committed to doing our utmost to create Anseong as a city where livestock farmers and citizens can thrive together."
