Mobile market for aging rural residents

Residents shop at the Haengbok Macha mobile market at a village hall in Choseong 4-ri, Cheongsan-myeon, Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi, on July 8. Yeoncheon launched the pilot service to bring daily necessities and fresh food directly to older and vulnerable residents in rural communities. As Korea's countryside ages rapidly and populations continue to decline, many older residents struggle to access grocery stores and other essential shopping facilities. [JANG JIN-YOUNG]
