The Qianjia Settlement CSA Farm in Hsinchu combines technology and community strength; each household pays 1,000 yuan a monthto support local organic smallholders, so that families at the Hsinchu Science Park can eat healthily.
Chen Chien-tai, tanned dark and wearing a duckbill cap, stands in a lush green vegetable garden; heis an alternative farmer, a part-time tech worker, and also the leader of a public-interest project, and he is working hardto blend these three roles.
This top student who graduated from the Department of Applied Mathematics at National Chiao Tung University, why did he give up a full-time job in an air-conditioned office, voluntarily take a pay cut, go to the countryside to farm, collect fallen leaves and horse manure for compost, andbattle weeds and cabbage worms, yet never tire of it? ...
This is Chen Chien-tai's life, and also the dream he shares with a volunteer team from ITRI: theyplan to plant one seed after another at the boundary between city and countryside, to support a group ofmarginalized indigenous people, and also to feed countless Hsinchu Science Park office workers.
