귀농･귀촌의 현황과 활성화 방안

Abstract

These days, rural communities are characterized by chronic problems such as aging, local extinction, low farm income and lack of social overhead capital. Supporting a return to farming and the re-population of rural areas has been consistently cited as a solution to these problems. 2021 is expected to be an important time to promote the return to farming and rural areas due to the establishment of a second comprehensive plan to support farming and rural areas and the change in perception of agriculture. In response, this study summarizes the current status and actual conditions of major policies and the purpose of presenting measures to revitalize the return to farming and rural areas. In addition, the factors and cases of the failure to return to farming and rural areas were divided into farming and non-farming sectors and a policy on revitalizing farming and rural return is presented. The roles for revitalizing the return to farming and rural areas were organized into actual implementation stages (preparation, settlement, and growth) according to the implementation entity (central government, local government, and Nonghyup). However, this relies on the organic cooperation of the three entities. If the central government lays the foundation for a large-scale policy and local governments and Nonghyup play their respective roles, it is expected to support those returning to farming and rural living.
