Abstract
”Agriculture” ought to mean not just agricultural production, because the task of ”agriculture” involves much more than economical and mechanical aspects of agri-produce: it covers the human, cultural dimensions of farming people, optimizing their communal awareness, their mental and physical health, and their various enormous contributions to the environmental appreciation and protection. Agriculture is agri-culture. Section One of this paper proposes and explains this definitional point. Section Two considers how this view of agriculture as ”culture” contributes to the development of farming communities and enhancing their integrities. Section Three proposes three concrete populist strategies to implement this vision. Conclusion concerns the homo-cosmic significance of how such postmodern Agri-cultural Revolution improves the entire Taiwan society towards the twenty-first century.
