Linking Food and Farming Education While Boosting the Locavore Culture TTDARES Holds Food and Farming Educational Consensus Camp and Lecture Series for Teachers

2018-08-02

So as to bring cohesion to concepts held by elementary and middle-school teachers on promoting food and farming education and to establish a common vision on this subject, the Taitung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (TTDARES) of the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan began holding the Food and Farming Educational Consensus Camp and Lecture Series on August 1, 2018. Sessions are slated to take place at Dawang Elementary School in Taimali (8/1, 9/4, and 10/16), Luye Junior High School (9/12 and 10/3), and Zhongxiao Elementary School in Chenggong (9/19 and 9/26).

The TTDARES stated that government authorities in the agriculture sector are helping teachers establish concepts on food and farming education as well as vision for instruction in these areas. This is expected to help teachers plan and carry out related lessons in the future. At the first session (held at Dawang Elementary School in Taimali on August 1), attendees expressed that the knowledge and skills they obtained during the camp will help be helpful in their daily lives and will be integrated into their future lesson plans so as to cultivate in children a concern for the local land and to pass on the local farming and dietary culture. The main goal of the camp is to solidly root food and farming education into local schools.

Attendees learning about agriculture. Attendees getting some hands-on experience. Attendees interacting and having discussion with camp trainers.
