The National Korean Beef Association and the Korea Forest Service have initiated a pilot project to convert arrowroot vines, currently a forest by-product, into forage for Korean beef farms. This initiative aims to diversify domestic forage sources, preserve forest ecosystems, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project involves collecting and processing vine by-products, such as stems and leaves, for distribution to beef farms. The collaboration is expected to contribute to carbon neutrality, job creation in rural areas, and the stability of beef farm management, especially with the recent surge in imported forage prices.
