NH Nonghyup ⁢Gyeongnam​ Geochang-gun Branch⁢ Promotes Rice Consumption at Geochang University

NH Nonghyup Gyeongnam Geochang-gun Branch and Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang University joined forces⁢ to promote rice consumption among faculty and students. Following a business agreement ‍on August 21, the two organizations held a rice consumption promotion event at the Geochang University cafeteria on September 2.

The event aimed to encourage students to develop a habit of eating breakfast, thereby ⁣helping to increase rice consumption. Attendees distributed rice⁣ cakes made with locally ​sourced rice and promotional materials to approximately 400 college ⁢students. The‌ event ⁤also launched an “Eat Breakfast” campaign, which seeks to address‍ the decline in rice consumption ⁤due‍ to population decline and‌ changing eating habits.

Branch Manager Lee Tae-yong emphasized ​the importance of the event, stating, “Although this is​ a small‍ rice sharing event, if everyone who uses‌ the Geochang University cafeteria develops a habit of⁢ eating breakfast, it will greatly benefit struggling rice farmers.” He encouraged participants to join the⁤ breakfast-eating movement and promote it to others.

President ​Kim Jae-gyu expressed his hope that⁢ the breakfast-eating campaign would inspire ⁤all ⁤faculty and students at Geochang University to make breakfast a priority, thereby contributing to increased rice‍ consumption. He encouraged participants to become messengers of the breakfast-eating⁤ movement.

By promoting rice consumption and encouraging students to develop‌ healthy ‍eating habits, NH Nonghyup ‌Gyeongnam Geochang-gun Branch and​ Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang University aim to support local rice farmers and contribute⁢ to the well-being of the community.
