Freshwater Return to Farming Collective Workshop Course List for the Second Half of the Year
1. Purpose:
This workshop is an ongoing, rolling group that will continue to offer courses. It will provide a place for learning and discussion for people who are willing to get closer to the land or who wish to return to farming, and it will offer various forms of assistance, such as opportunities to actually try farming, help in matching idle land in the Tamsui area, and the provision of agricultural cultivation knowledge, among other things. It is also hoped that through such a group, the lone-wolf nature of traditional agriculture can be broken down, a sound agricultural cooperation mechanism can be established, and a complete agricultural industry chain can be built. More people are welcome to join in and take part in the discussion.
In the second half of the year, there will be more hands-on practice focused on agricultural production, helping everyone who takes part to gain a real understanding of the various stages of agricultural development.
