Agricultural Machinery Sharing Program for Lowering Production Cost and Carbon Emissions (In Chinese)
September 15, 2023 | Agri-Harvest, Taiwan |
Taiwan's Agriculture Ministry launched an initiative under the "Agricultural Machinery Cultivation Service System" framwork to promote sharing of agricultural machinery to enhance farm efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Implemented by Mingdao University's Smart and Refined Agriculture Department and the Taoyuan Youth Farmers Production Cooperative, the project focuses on leasing small electric farm equipment. This approach aims to make electric machinery more accessible and economical for farmers, contributing to the country's agricultural electrification.
The President of the Taoyuan Youth Farmers Association, Wu Cheng-fu, highlighted the cost-effectiveness of renting small electric farm machinery, especially for farmers who use such equipment infrequently. The project, in operation for nearly a year, has seen a rise in electric farm machinery usage, reducing carbon emissions by 15 tons. The initiative supports the growth of electric farming in Taiwan, offering an affordable and eco-friendly alternative for farmers with low equipment usage frequency.
