This is a participatory expo that expands the value of Gurye’s pristine soil and eco-friendly agriculture into exhibition, experience, gastronomy, performance, and mutual growth content, allowing visitors to naturally understand and practice carbon neutrality by seeing, walking, touching, and tasting the soil. By concretizing the macroscopic tasks of responding to climate change and practicing carbon neutrality into the lifestyle-oriented theme of "Soil and Agriculture," the event aims to induce understanding and voluntary participation from residents and visitors. Furthermore, unique and differentiated expo content specific to Gurye has been established by linking domestic wheat, local agricultural specialties, policies for returning to farming and rural life, and tourism resources such as Mt. Jirisan and the Seomjin River, centering on Gurye’s clean soil and eco-friendly agriculture. Moving away from viewing events centered on thematic exhibitions, the event is designed to allow visitors to directly experience the value and importance of soil through participatory programs that combine walking, experiences, gastronomy, performances, sales, and stay-over tourism. Through this event, a cooperative system is established in which local farmers, related organizations, businesses, cultural and artistic professionals, and residents participate as both content providers and event organizers, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the local economy and the creation of community value.
