Headline Expanding Agricultural Yields in Korea through Soil and Water Management 
Caption Description Only 21 per cent of Korea's total land area is cultivated; hence, food production has not kept pace with population increases. Therefore the Government has initiated a nation-wide drive to increase the country's agricultural capacity by improving and developing its heretofore uncultivated mountainous regions. The Ansong-Chon watershed in the northwest and the Tongjin-Gang in the southwest have already served successfully as pilot demonstrations for the conversation of eroded, non-productive uplands into fertile cropland and pastures. This was accomplished through the construction of bench-terracing, grassed waterways, diversion drains, improved channels and water storage dams as well as hydrologic, agronomic and agricultural-economic studies. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as executing agency, assisted the Government in this effort, which has now been unified and expanded to include a third region - the Naktong River Basin in the southeast. For this phase of the project, FAO is providing expert services, special equipment and fellowships for the training of local personnel in modern techniques of soil and water management. Village children and project trainee overlook a pond from which water is drawn to operate sprinkler system for irrigating experimental farms.
