Visit a farm in Gyeongsang-do
There is a range of wildlife species that exist around the world. Livestock, in particular, is the key to human survival. Amid rapid urbanization, however, the importance and existence of such domesticated animals has been somewhat forgotten over the past few years.
The Rural Development Administration (RDA) has come up with a new plan to raise awareness of the benefits that livestock brings to mankind. It’s the Hands-on Livestock Experience program, giving people, especially younger people, a chance to commune with animals and to learn more about their usefulness in our lives. There are also petting zoos where people can feed the animals and see them first-hand.
As part of this, the RDA recently recommended five of the best animal farms across the nation to visit this summer, giving visitors direct hands-on farm experiences.
