President Lee: "Comprehensive Farmland Survey Essential... Must Do What Needs to Be Done Despite Obstacles"

President Lee Jae-myung stated that a comprehensive survey of farmland is essential to prevent land speculation and ensure the proper use of agricultural land, stressing that the government must do what needs to be done even if there is strong pushback.

On his social media, President Lee emphasized, "The 'land to the tillers' principle, which dictates that farmland should only be owned by farmers, is enshrined in the Constitution, and the government's efforts to uphold this are a constitutional mandate—in other words, an order from the people."

However, he added that land where farming is impossible due to old age and inherited farmland will not be subject to the survey.
