“…Due to the fact that Taiwan is an agricultural country, the sector plays a vital role in the local economy, and domestic farming production is crucial as a source of food [15]. In 2015, Taiwan had approximately 800,000 hectares under cultivation, accounting for over 20% of the total land area, with the GDP in the agricultural sector being 1.8% of national GDP [16].…”

A Potential Sustainable Pathway for Community-Supported Agriculture in Taiwan: The Consumer Perspective in a Farmers’ Market

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become an alternative approach for small-sized farmers in many countries. However, CSA is a somewhat challenging concept in Taiwan because many CSA projects face difficulties and obstacles related to sustainability, so relevant literature is rare. This pilot study investigates a potential CSA program in a farmers’ market to observe whether farmers’ market consumers would like to participate or not. A total of 320 survey responses collected from a farmers’ market were examined by an interval regression model. Results show that respondents are willing to pay and to be a CSA member of the farmers’ market. This study identifies that consumers are willing to share the risks of upfront payment with farmers. The preferred length of the contract means that a compromise is made in order to implement the CSA program. The implications involving a flexible length of contract and the budget should be taken into consideration by farmers, farmers’ market managers, and policymakers for devising promotion strategies, enrolling shareholders, and promoting CSA in Taiwan. Future study should focus on the consumer characteristics and factors affecting their decision to subscribe to CSA.

“…The placement of each sensor node varied according to the greenhouse area, insect pest management strategy of the farmers, and the number of suspected insect pest hotspots in the greenhouse. The crops grown by each farm are major economic crops in Taiwan 24 . Major insect pests, such as whiteflies, thrips, and aphids are attracted by the crops listed in Table 1.…”

BACKGROUND Main bottleneck in facilitating integrated pest management (IPM) is the unavailability of reliable and immediate crop damage data. Without sufficient insect pest and plant disease information, farm managers are unable to make proper decisions to prevent crop damage. This work aims to present how an integrated system was able to drive farm managers towards sustainable and data‐driven IPM. RESULTS A system called Intelligent and Integrated Pest and Disease Management (I2PDM) system was developed. Edge computing devices were developed to automatically detect and recognize major greenhouse insect pests such as thrips (Frankliniella intonsa, Thrips hawaiiensis, and Thrips tabaci), and whiteflies (Bemisia argentifolii and Trialeurodes vaporariorum), to name a few, and measure environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, and light intensity, and send data to a remote server. The system has been installed in greenhouses producing tomatoes and orchids for gathering long‐term spatiotemporal insect pest count and environmental data, for as long as 1368 days. The findings demonstrated that the proposed system supported the farm managers in performing IPM‐related tasks. Significant yearly reductions in insect pest count as high as 50.7% were observed on the farms. CONCLUSION It was concluded that novel and efficient strategies can be achieved by using an intelligent IPM system, opening IPM to potential benefits that cannot be easily realized with a traditional IPM program. This is the first work that reports the development of an intelligent strategic model for IPM based on actual automatically collected long‐term data. The work presented herein can help in encouraging farm managers, researchers, experts, and industries to work together in implementing sustainable and data‐driven IPM. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Accordingly, the rise of the AVC intensifies the need for investment through the financial services' linkages. On the demand side, value chains optimize the use of infrastructure, labor, and financial capital to consolidate their market shares, meet consumer preferences, and reduce transaction costs for aggregating dispersed marketable surpluses [64][65][66]. However, if the focal place of financial linkages is in large cities, regions engaged in agriculture may have constraints on accessing the capital providers.…”

The spatial structure of urban-related industries and agri-food value chains is important for promoting sustainable linkages. Using an interregional input-output framework, this study explores the geography of inter-industry linkages between financial business services and the Chilean agri-food related industries from a subnational perspective. This framework allows adding evidence on rural-related economic activities and financial business services, covering Chilean internal geography, which has a regional concentration of both the business services supply and the agriculturally engaged regions, potentially blocking territorial competitiveness. Our findings indicate that the relationship between value-added and trade is consistent with the vertical fragmentation of domestic production associated with returns to scale. Consequently, while the value-added financial services are more intense in trade for global value chains, this occurs in regions specialized in agri-food industries and services. Our findings also show that Southern Chilean regions engaged in primary agricultural production have lower levels of financial services directly and indirectly embedded in both domestic and global value chains trade, thus highlighting an uneven geography of vertical integration within the country.
