Five districts in Tainan City became the focus of international ecological attention today. Distinguished Professor Yen-Hsun Su, leader of the Satoyama Mace Initiative, joined forces with Dr. Yen, Chen-Piao, Chairman of the New Agricultural Biotech Production Cooperative, a partner of the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI). Together with 40 students from National Cheng Kung University’s (NCKU) Academy of Innovative Semiconductor and Sustainable Manufacturing and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, they formed a cross-generational international team to investigate net-zero pathways and natural carbon sinks across Xinhua, Xinshi, Shanhua, Liuying, and Xinying.
The survey specifically targets “Yellow Carbon"—carbon sequestered in agricultural soil. By implementing Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) mechanisms, the team aims to establish a scientifically validated methodology for agricultural carbon sinks. This “Taiwan Model” seeks to transform farmland from mere food production bases into “natural infrastructure” capable of absorbing CO2, integrating agricultural production, local culture, and ecological conservation with international carbon market potential.
“Taiwan’s high-density agricultural management and technological prowess offer a unique opportunity to build a globally competitive carbon sink system,” stated Professor Yen-Hsun Su. “Agriculture is not just a food supply chain; it is a vital solution for global climate governance.”
