Year after year, uncultivated agricultural land is becoming more prominent due to the aging of farmers.
 
Since agricultural land is an important resource for producing food, Article 2-2 of the Agricultural Land Law states that "a person who has ownership or lease of agricultural land or other rights for the purpose of use and profit is the agriculture of the agricultural land. We must ensure the proper and efficient use of the above, "says the responsibilities of those who have the right to farmland.

Also, once the farmland is rough, it takes a lot of effort and money to restore it to its original state.
 
Agricultural land owners are requested to properly manage the agricultural land, such as cultivating and mowing.
