Taiwan, once an agrarian society, has long since become highly commercialized. However, according to recent surveys by the Council of Agriculture, over 70% of Taiwanese people harbor dreams of pastoral life and have thought about escaping to a leisurely rural existence. Many young farmers have also received assistance through the Council of Agriculture’s agricultural learning programs and guidance, taking action to engage in farming while enriching the diversity of Taiwanese agriculture.
From now until March 20th, just take a moment to fill out the questionnaire online, speak out about your pastoral dreams, and you could win gifts such as aromatic Alishan black tea or a black bear wood carving gift box.
