Tridge summary

[Korean Farmers and Fishermen Newspaper] The year 2025 is coming to a close. This year, rural areas were at the forefront of the climate crisis throughout all four seasons. Disasters did not discriminate by season, and the damage was not limited to specific regions. In winter, record-breaking heavy snow caused greenhouses and livestock barns to collapse; in spring, simultaneous large-scale wildfires caused unprecedented damage.

When this newspaper revisited the disaster sites to ring in the new year, although the types of disasters and regions varied, the reality faced by farmers and fishermen remained the same.
