序
The publisher invites Japanese readers and Satoyama supporters to spread these stories of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature in rural communities in Taiwan, and to keep telling the story of the Satoyama Initiative. Let us keep learning from one another through exchange, strengthening the friendship between Taiwan and Japan on the road to landscape restoration, and contributing to global biodiversity. We are all in this together, and we can do it together.
內容簡介
There are four books in the set, about four rural communities in Taiwan. First, The Spring on the Highland explains how two generations of farmers in Gonglaoping, Fengyuan District, Taichung enjoy the fruits of kinship with the land following the restoration of the spring on the highland. Second, Farming Village Co. Unlimited is about a Satoyama-inspired enterprise based on crop diversification and creative local produce marketing in Gongrong, Sanzhi District, New Taipei City. Third, Letters the Blue Sea Wrote to the Land of Coastal Terraces is about a Satoyama-style landscape in Fuxing and Xinshe, Fengbin Township, Hualien, where senior citizens are reinventing their traditional knitting culture and where their children are restoring the coastal terraces – ancient paddy fields. Fourth, Shining Herb Village is about nostalgic children of farmers who have come home to Shangde, Donghe Township, Taitung in search of childhood memories of fragrant shining herbs and in the hopes of helping silver-haired old-timers restore the local landscape.
