Project Summary

This project recruits several experts from diverse disciplines including geographic information,

environmental engineering, agricultural production, planning and utilization of land resource, public

communication and promotion, agricultural policy formulation, etc., and could be a model project for

transdisciplinary cooperation in the sustainable development of rural ecology.

By practicing the seven sub-projects, the main project investigated index species, health of water system,

microclimate, and the sustainable management of eco-, socio-, and economical aspects of paddy fields and

develop appropriate innovative policies and practices in Taiwan. In the meantime, the project also

compares both permacultural policies of Taiwan and other countries and provide importance references for

future policies on sustainability in Taiwan. Please check the achievement from all members below:
