Cooperatives growing in Korea

iCoop Korea which is Korea's consumer cooperative group started a project to produce items for food cooperatives across a 15 hectares site. Now the site is a year old and has over 300 people producing 340 items. This park brings in about 2,500 visitors a month who come to see how the products are made and learn about cooperatives.

The goal of this project is to boost growth across the local community. This year solar energy panels were installed to increase the park's use of renewable energy. All these values fall in in line with iCoop Korea's objective to "realize a healthy society through a variety of public services."
