To present Taitung’s local dietary culture, Indigenous farming culture, and technological R&D achievements, the Taitung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (TTDARES) held the Conference on Food and Agriculture Education, Indigenous People’s Traditional Crops, and Annual Experimental Research and Promotion Achievements at the TTDARES regional education center on January 19, 2024. 211 representatives from Taitung’s agricultural agencies and farmers attended the event. TTDARES Director Chen Hsin-yen stated that the TTDARES works hard on developing cultivation technology for all kinds of Indigenous people’s traditional crops, carrying forward traditional Indigenous farming wisdom, promoting food and agriculture education at schools throughout the county, fostering an agricultural environment full of local features, and encouraging healthy diets. As a result, this year’s conference revolved around both food and agriculture education and Indigenous people’s traditional crops. While focusing on the TTDARES’ core values of Indigenous people’s traditional crops, early ripening and full harvests, and organic LOHAS living, all kinds of issues were discussed, and a wealth of information was presented. Aside from speeches by experts and representatives from agricultural agencies, the TTDARES shared about its major achievements over the past year. By bringing people from various sectors together, the event aimed to inspire innovative thought while boosting Taitung’s agricultural development based on local industry development demands.
