This study aims to establish the goals and long-term development plan for Nonsan’s agricultural and livestock industries and rural-area vitalization, and draw implementation strategies. For this purpose, the study analyzes changes in internal and external policy environments around Korea, Nonsan city’s current status, and demand for new development strategies of rural residents of Nonsan city. The study also presents concrete, detailed projects to realize the strategies and draws core tasks to carry forward first.
This study largely consists of four parts. First, we examine changes in the policy environments in the agricultural and livestock industries and rural communities. For this, the study analyzes changes in external conditions and the policy environment. Second, we analyze the present state and features of Nonsan’s agricultural and livestock industries and rural areas. This study analyzes the city’s features and current status by collecting various statistics and performs the SWOT analysis of the city’s agriculture and rural communities. Third, we research and analyze demand for the development of Nonsan’s agricultural and livestock industries and rural areas. Rural residents including village leaders are surveyed on the present state, problems, and policy demands in the sectors. Fourth, based on the survey and policy demand analysis, the measures to implement development strategies of the city’s agriculture and rural communities are drawn. We present action plans and concrete projects related to the visions and goals of the sectors.
As a result, this study set the goal of development strategies in the sector of agriculture and livestock as “promoting the high-value agricultural and livestock industries through eco-friendly ways and convergence” and presented five action plans: strengthening agricultural production infrastructures; strengthening “Yesmin” brand value and improving the agricultural marketing structure; promoting clean (high-quality and eco-friendly) livestock farming; creating high value in the agricultural and livestock industries; and creating the foundation for smart agriculture. To realize the action plans, 19 programs and 33 detailed projects were presented. The goal of rural development strategies was set as “creating happy rural communities.” The two action plans were presented as follows: improving basic living services and vitalizing communities; and creating synergy of regional development through cooperation among regions. Regarding the action plans, 7 programs and 13 detailed projects were also presented.
Last, we presented the projects for Nonsan to carry forward first as core programs for the agricultural and livestock industries and rural vitalization. The core programs are the policies that can create synergy if the related projects are linked. We presented three core programs as follows: realizing clean livestock farming through the resource recirculation livestock industry and a decrease in livestock farms’ foul smell; creating high value through multi-industrialization of the agricultural and livestock industry; and improving rural residents’ quality of life through promoting cultural-activity clubs.
