National Korean Beef Association and Korea Forest Service Realization of carbon neutrality and Promotion of management stability of Korean beef farms The National Korean Beef Association (Chairman Sam-Joo Kim) and the Korea Forest Service (CEO Nam Nam-hyeon) are promoting a pilot project to convert arrowroot vines to forage by-products to diversify domestic forage and preserve forest ecosystems.
