Formosa Goose founder Tsai Ying-ti wastes nothing with circular agriculture

Nocera, Inc., a fully integrated sustainable aquaculture company focused on the manufacturing and operation of land-based Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs), is pleased to announce its commencement of preliminary discussions with Chang Tai Group to explore the feasibility of a strategic collaboration.

Pesticide drops carried out by drone 4 times more efficient than by manual labor

Taiwan has witnessed rapid growth in its renewable energy sector. To bolster the adoption of clean energy, the government is actively promoting a free-market framework for green energy trading

A majority of Taiwan's long-distance saury fishing vessels have switched to using light emitting diodes (LEDs) to conduct saury fishery in the Pacific for environmental reasons.

As a result, the shift of land-based aquaculture to offshore cage net farming, creating "ocean ranching," has become a trend. This allows for the consumption of saltwater fish without the need for ocean fishing, while land can be repurposed for other uses. It saves freshwater resources, reduces carbon footprints and damage caused by disasters, and promotes a friendly farming environment that minimizes the impact of aquaculture on the environment, ultimately achieving sustainable operation.

Traditional agricultural machinery, mostly powered by diesel, is one of the primary sources of carbon emissions in agriculture. To respond to the call for net-zero emissions, countries are encouraging farmers to use electric agricultural machinery that reduces carbon emissions. Electric agricultural machinery also offers advantages such as low noise, low vibration, low waste heat, and easy startup. If they can be charged with renewable energy sources like solar power or wind power, it further enhances energy savings and carbon reduction efforts.

Animals raised without antibiotics rely on alternative health supplements like herbal medicines, probiotics, enzymes, or plant-based additives for robust health. This approach promotes a healthy digestive system, resulting in fewer cases of diarrhea, reduced fecal and urine odor, and less environmental pollution. By avoiding antibiotic use, the development of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms is prevented, preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics. It also ensures food safety by eliminating the risk of drug residues.

Automated cutting equipment is common in modern meat processing plants for meat portioning, but detailed cutting still relies on manual hand-cutting. Knives play a crucial role in this process, significantly impacting efficiency and quality. Choosing the right knives reduces manual cutting time and effort, minimizes hand injuries, improves work efficiency, and ensures the preservation of high-quality meat with its market value intact.

Raising healthy animals for delicious meals is a challenging task that requires careful attention. In traditional animal farming, it becomes necessary to supplement animal feed with nutrients to bolster their immune systems, minimize the risk of illnesses and mortality, and enhance productivity and growth rates. This, in turn, increases overall production efficiency. In the event of animals falling ill, timely administration of medication can aid in their recovery. Alternatively, the utilization of natural herbal remedies can eliminate the residues associated with conventional chemical drugs, thereby safeguarding human food safety.

For international trade, many countries have strict inspection standards for pesticide residues in imported products. Only qualified products that have been ensured of their quality and safety can be distributed to the international market.

Taiwan's high temperature and rainfall lead to rapid decomposition of organic matter, resulting in insufficient organic content in farmland soil. This, in turn, causes soil acidification and heavy metal accumulation, resulting in irreversible damage. Organic fertilizers have a slow but long-lasting effect. They promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, improve soil aeration, water retention, and fertility. They also enhance the soil's ability to buffer against environmental changes, preventing drastic fluctuations in pH and EC values.
