Description of Our Community: Chang-Hua used to be called “Ban-Shian”. It is located in central Taiwan and is a place with rice culture. Chang-Hua’s development is based on agricultural industry and we have many historical places preserved and some special local food which attracted tourists to visit. But we are losing these features that attracts them while we are losing the farms. People are consuming less and less rice due to this and this is going on a vicious circle. We are hoping this research could ease this problem and bring more knowledge and attention to this problem.
Project Description: Agricultural industry is the foundation of our country and rice is our staple food. Farms were all around us in early days. But as we becoming more and more developed our life style began to change. Farms begin to be replaced by tall buildings and our food consumption habit begin to change as we are effected by globalization. The demand of rice begin to go down which caused the coverage of rice field to go down. This has impacted in not only the decrease in farms but also the environment and the people. Considering the fact that rice field plays an important part in our ecology, geology and travel industry; it is actually irreplaceable. Therefore we hope we could raise the awareness of the importance of rice industry through our research. We are doing that by “Gathering data from internet and internet.” “The field notes about the visits of farms nowadays.” “Presenting our research data, summary and suggestions through internet.”
