National Taiwan Museum launches new agriculture exhibition to teach children about friendly farming

Food safety incidents keep emerging, and the late physician Lin Jie-liang repeatedly stressed before his death that people should eat less processed food. The National Taiwan Museum Nanmen Park, now one year past its opening, has also caught up with the trend by creating a tailor-made special exhibition for children, "New Farming Organic LOHAS Play - A Journey to the Hairy Hole House," bringing from Miaoli a rarely seen soil profile 1.5 m deep to show the impact of conventional and friendly farming methods on soil. Through interactive pressing devices, children can learn about preservatives and emulsifiers, conveying the concept of "eat food, eat less processed food."
