[안종욱 기자=경기북부] 가평군의 현재 친환경인증 농가는 500여명으로 친환경인증을 받으려면 2020년부터 모든 농가가 친환경인증 의무교육을 매년 이수해야 한다.
 
인증 갱신농가는 2시간, 신규인증 농가는 3시간 이상 친환경인증 의무교육을 받아야 하기 때문에 가평군농업기술센터에서는 2020년에는 새해농업인 실용교육 친환경농업반을 통한 농가 대면교육을 실시하였으나 코로나 19 확산에 따라 금년부터는 비대면 교육으로 실시하고 있다.

비대면 교육은 2월 중 실시할 예정이며 친환경 과수, 채소, 특작 농가는 친환경인증반을 친환경 벼재배 농가는 친환경벼농사반 교육을 이수하면 친환경인증 농산물과정 교육을 이수한 것으로 인정이 되며 만약 농업기술센터에서 추진하는 비대면 교육을 이수하지 못하였을 경우에는 사이버교육을 이수하면 된다.

가평군은 또한 농업인들의 경영개선을 위해 친환경농업 경영기록장 600부를 새로 제작해 농업인들에게 무료로 배부한다. 새로 제작한 경영기록장은 2023년까지 3년간 사용할 수 있으며 친환경인증, GAP인증 및 PLS에 대한 정보를 담아 농업인에게 많은 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 경영기록장을 필요로 하는 농업인은 농업기술센터 환경농업팀 또는 읍면농민상담소를 방문하면 된다.

Gapyeong-gun eco-friendly certification, compulsory education must be completed every year

Farmers with certification renewal must receive compulsory education for eco-friendly certification for at least 2 hours and newly certified farms for at least 3 hours.

Currently, there are about 500 eco-friendly farms in Gapyeong-gun, and in order to receive eco-friendly certification, all farms must complete mandatory eco-certification training every year from 2020.
 
The Gapyeong-gun Agricultural Technology Center provided a practical education for new year farmers in 2020, but face-to-face education for farmers through the Eco-Friendly Farming Team was conducted due to the spread of Corona 19, as certified renewed farms must receive mandatory environmental certification training for at least 2 hours and newly certified farms at least 3 hours. From this year on, it is conducted as a non-face-to-face education.

Non-face-to-face training is scheduled to be conducted in February. If you complete the eco-friendly certification class for eco-friendly fruit trees, vegetables, and specialty farmers, and the eco-friendly rice farming class for eco-friendly rice farming farms, it is recognized that you have completed the eco-certified agricultural product course training. If you are unable to complete the non-face-to-face training promoted by, you can complete the cyber training.

Gapyeong-gun also creates 600 copies of eco-friendly farming management records and distributes them to farmers for free to improve their management. The newly created management record book can be used for three years until 2023, and it is expected to be of great help to farmers with information on eco-friendly certification, GAP certification, and PLS. Farmers who need a management record book can visit the Environmental Agriculture Team of the Agricultural Technology Center or the Eup-Myeon Farmers' Consultation Center.
