Description of Our Community: Central Taiwan covers agricultural cities such as Taichung City, Changhua County and Nantou County. Connected by High Speed Rail, Taiwan Railway and Bus Transfer Station, the living environment is very convenient. There are many agricultural specialties clusters in these areas; therefore, our research project aims to explore local specialties – mushrooms – within central Taiwan.

Project Description: As the proverb goes, “ food is the God of the people”, it goes without saying that diet in our daily lives is of great significance. We are surrounded by various agricultural products, providing us with ingredients to make dishes. Central Taiwan is just where mushrooms are planted, and so there are many mushroom tribes and tourist factories. The purpose of our research is for children to be acquainted with mushrooms, knowing their origins and cultivation process. Through conducting interviews with local experts, they not only get to realize that it is a hard work to cultivate mushrooms, but also get to know more about their hometown specialties, which help to foster their appreciation for food and fervent love for the hometown.
