Minister of Council of Agriculture
Taiwan's agriculture strategic planning
In December 2010, Chen said that agriculture industry in Taiwan is an increasing strategic important industry due to the growing global food crisis caused by climate change and natural disasters. As the Minister of Council of Agriculture (COA), he said that the COA was working towards health, efficiency and sustainability in agriculture, and also building on the growing concern over food safety and quality. The COA also had encouraged farmers to combine unique farm experiences with an array of high quality agricultural products to boost agricultural tourism through 242 agritourism farms and ranches across Taiwan. The COA also had promoted the use of non-toxic farming by encouraging farmers to reduce their use of chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and additives during production.[2]
