NCUE organises courses and activities for local farmers and food producers to enhance communication and share knowledge about agricultural products and food production. NCUE also proposes projects and holds campus celebrations so local farmers and food producers can promote local agricultural products in bazaars. The events enable teachers, students, and residents to gain in-depth understanding of local agricultural products and interact professionally.

1. Deep Cultivation in Fangyuan and Joining Hands in Dacheng: Changhua Twin Cities’ Industrial and Environmental Sustainability 2020

This was a budding project that offered the Aquaculture Product Testing and Environmental Management course to nurture the technical talent needed by local industries. Course attendees, including members of the Changhua County Aquaculture and Fisheries Development Association, also learnt about and experienced high-end detection technologies such as aquaculture environmental inspection and management, care and inspection of aquaculture species, basic principles of aquatic processing and manufacturing technology, and aquatic product inspection technology.

2. The micro-credit course of liberal education aiming at cross-disciplinary learning: Introduction to Zhutang’s Industries and Farming Experience

NCUE students joined a guided tour to the farmer association and experienced farming firsthand (checking out cabbages in fields, learning about Zhutang and DIY cabbage cooking) to learn more about Zhutang’s special agricultural products.
