課程內涵 (Course Contenets)

如果有一張空白圖畫紙,讓我們擘劃夢想中真實親切的田園共享家園,你會怎麼開始做?

當有些人還在這只是嘲笑小學生的作業時,賈桂琳葛枚(Jacqueline Cramer)與格蘭赫里希(Glenn Herlihy)在一堂樸門設計課程(permaculture)後，與上千志工，一同打造了西雅圖的驕傲：全世界第一座公共「必肯食物森林(Beacon Food Forest)」。誰說城市裡很難找到田園共享之美?
放眼世界,日本推動食育成功案例、歐美國家的From earth to the table概念牽動對於飲食內涵、文化、食材、食物哩程的探討。義大利米蘭在2015年的世博會以「食養大地，生命共享」Feeding the Planet. Energy for Life，著重人能獲得健康、安全和足夠食物的權利。加拿大第一屆Help Feed A Hungry Planet全球青年農業高峰會,與安全食物和社區參與有關。世界各國為了糧食、氣候、環境、食安與食農教育成為世界共同議題，參與思考的討論者也不再只是專家學者，而是如何融入年輕人創意活動，並建構思索尋求未來可解決的方法。
食農是近來環境惡化後大家非常關心的議題‚為滿足消費者要以短少的金錢購買到賣相好的食材,大量使用農藥和化肥。此舉造成消費者身體的農藥殘留和病變,也造成了土地汙染和環境物種棲地破壞。當婆娑的蝴蝶不再起舞,供給鳥類動物棲息的胸襟變小‚土地成了低泣哀鳴的悲歌,城市變成華麗與蕭索的連結‚是否應該有實現理想的勇氣,讓大眾能早日了解農業和飲食消費的關係‚親身體驗付諸實現食農教育的重要議題。

而幼時屈身觀察一草一木‚方寸想像的樂趣是童年共同的幸福回憶。田野中有最接近真實的美好‚自然中的沉穩與希望‚是體驗生命與感動的機會。培養體驗田園自然美感、欣賞群體美感創作‚透過詩意轉化形塑成對人群的關心,延伸為社區里民美感欣賞與榮耀‚才是找回生命成長--美的感動與價值的理想願景。
本課程希望透過實作課程融入,配合大學社會責任計畫及公民的共同參與‚期望達到「自由耕種˙收成共享」理想境界;後「享用大地˙回饋自然」,落葉推肥,資源循環涵養自然的概念‚轉而有機栽種滋養土地,落實環境教育;後「樂群為美˙感受生命」‚透過藝術策展‚現地資材創作、田野中布展‚舉辦田園藝術祭‚讓微笑的眼睛,看什麼都是美麗的風景。

願景與理念
一、自由耕種˙收成共享
當城市耕地面積縮減，許多營養必需的蔬食材料被迫往鄉村或邊陲耕種，造成高運輸成本的供給，甚至仰賴國際貿易進口，不只使國內耕作人口逐漸消失，更使蔬食成本提高;城市中零碎的土地櫛比麟次，等待計畫變更或是圈地卻無法有效作為，腳踏土地日漸荒蕪。新鮮蔬菜食物來源不應被金錢所控制，土地應該透過共治分享達到參與;社區共享園區可以共同耕種,透過資源共享‚「自由耕種˙收成共享」才是真正打破社區藩籬‚重新找回真實信任、分享的珍貴價值‚亦為課程中核心概念。
二、享用大地˙回饋自然
緊靠在臺中高科技走廊發展的邊緣‚更應秉持低碳生活、順應自然的食農精神‚不以大量生產農作為目的。採用自然落葉及枯枝堆肥‚並將產生的可回收垃圾資源回歸到大地‚建立循環教育機制‚涵養令人親近的土地‚生生不息的能量與資源循環的理念。更落實學校教育‚讓孩子體驗盤中飧的生活點滴‚延伸成最直接的生活自然教育‚也讓孩子們直接享用健康有機的蔬果‚在都市生活中深刻省思另一片美好風景。
三、樂群為美˙感受生命
美是生命中不虞匱乏的基本條件‚也是創造力及生命的發端。一花一草就是創作‚創造與想像的基礎來自於生活‚藝術無法脫離生活。站在共作而共享的田園土地上‚重新檢視生活中人與群體的關係‚而能樂群為美‚重新感受生命中無窮盡的能量與價值。

If there was a blank piece of drawing paper and we were asked to draw up a real and friendly pastoral shared home in our dreams, how would you start?

While some people were still laughing at the homework of elementary school students, Jacqueline Cramer and Glenn Herlihy, after a permaculture course, worked with thousands of volunteers to build Seattle’s pride: the world’s first public “Beacon Food Forest.” Who said it’s hard to find the shared beauty of countryside in the city?
Looking around the world, the successful cases of Japan promoting food education and the concept of From earth to the table in European and American countries have affected the discussion of the connotation, culture, ingredients and food journey of food. At the 2015 World Expo in Milan, Italy, "Feeding the Planet. Energy for Life" focused on people's rights to health, safety and adequate food. Canada's first Help Feed A Hungry Planet global youth agriculture summit, related to safe food and community engagement. Food, climate, environment, food safety and food agriculture education have become common issues in countries around the world. Participants in the discussion are no longer just experts and scholars, but how to integrate young people's creative activities and construct thinking to find solutions in the future.
Food farming is an issue of great concern to everyone after the recent deterioration of the environment. In order to satisfy consumers who want to buy good-looking ingredients with limited money, a large amount of pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used. This move has caused pesticide residues and pathological changes in consumers' bodies, as well as land pollution and habitat destruction of environmental species. When the fluttering butterflies no longer dance, the ambition to provide habitat for birds and animals becomes smaller, the land becomes a weeping lament, and the city becomes a link between gorgeousness and desolation. Should we have the courage to realize our ideals, so that the public can understand the relationship between agriculture and food consumption as soon as possible, and experience first-hand the important issues of realizing food and agriculture education.

When I was young, I bent down to observe every plant and tree, and the joy of imagining every inch was a common happy childhood memory. The fields are the closest to real beauty, the calmness and hope in nature, and are opportunities to experience life and emotion. Cultivating and experiencing the natural beauty of the countryside and appreciating the aesthetic creation of the group, transforming it into a concern for the people through poetic transformation, and extending it to the aesthetic appreciation and glory of the people in the community, is the ideal vision to regain the growth of life - the touch and value of beauty.
This course hopes to be integrated into practical courses, cooperate with the university's social responsibility plan and the participation of citizens, hoping to achieve the ideal state of "free farming and harvest sharing"; and then "enjoy the earth and give back to nature", push fallen leaves to fertilize, and circulate resources to conserve nature. The concept "turns to organic planting to nourish the land and implements environmental education; later "Joining the crowd for beauty and experiencing life", through art curation, creation of on-site materials, exhibitions in the fields, and pastoral art festivals, let smiling eyes see everything as beautiful scenery.

Vision and philosophy
1. Free farming and harvest sharing
When the area of cultivated land in cities shrinks, many nutritionally necessary vegetable materials are forced to be cultivated in the countryside or borders, resulting in high transportation costs for supply, and even relying on international trade imports. This not only causes the domestic farming population to gradually disappear, but also increases the cost of vegetable food. There are fragments of land in the city, waiting for plan changes or land enclosures, but cannot be effectively implemented, and the land underfoot is becoming increasingly desolate. The source of fresh vegetable food should not be controlled by money, and land should be participated through joint governance and sharing; community shared parks can be cultivated together, and through resource sharing, "free farming and harvest sharing" can truly break down community barriers and rediscover the precious value of true trust and sharing, which is also a core concept in the course.
2. Enjoy the earth and give back to nature
Being close to the edge of the development of Taichung High-tech Corridor, we should uphold the spirit of low-carbon life and adapt to nature, and not aim at mass production of agriculture. Use natural fallen leaves and dead branches to compost, and return the generated recyclable garbage resources to the earth, establish a recycling education mechanism, conserve the land that is close to people, and have the concept of endless energy and resource recycling. We will further implement school education, allowing children to experience every detail of life on the plate, extending it into the most direct natural life education, allowing children to directly enjoy healthy and organic fruits and vegetables, and deeply reflect on another beautiful scenery in urban life.
3. Enjoy the beauty of the crowd and feel life
Beauty is the basic condition for not lacking in life, and it is also the origin of creativity and life. One flower and one grass is creation. The basis of creation and imagination comes from life, and art cannot be separated from life. Standing on the pastoral land that is co-produced and shared, we can re-examine the relationship between people and groups in life, be able to enjoy the beauty of groups, and re-experience the endless energy and value of life.
