On November 4, Anseong City held an interim briefing on the development of its Second Local Food Plan in the city hall’s main conference room. Mayor Kim Bora, members of the Local Food Committee, the Rural New Vitality Project Promotion Group, and relevant public officials attended.

At the briefing, participants reviewed the achievements and limitations of the first plan and discussed key strategies and directions for the second plan, which will be implemented over the next five years. They also shared on-the-ground feedback to help make the plan more effective.

Under the first plan, the city expanded support for public meal services and established spaces serving as local food hubs. It also laid the groundwork for shipping agricultural products, focusing on small and medium-sized farmers.

The second plan will focus on strengthening the system for planned production of local agricultural products, expanding food support through public and welfare meal services, and establishing a stable logistics and distribution infrastructure. The city aims to better link production with supply to support both residents’ access to food and the local economy.
