Abstract
This study is to explore the state of act of sustainable agricultural knowledge
management and its relationship with social capital and social learning. MOA and
Lin-Kung agricultural Foundation are selected as observable cases which are major
institutions for facilitating the development of organic farming. In-depth interview,
and document analysis used to collect and explain data in term of multi-stage
linguistic and conceptual structure analysis. The further explanation on data finding
stated as bellowing:
1. Social capital can be found as related factor with the development of organic
knowledge management. However, the existing relationship varied with
different work situations which derived from certificate offer or marketing
process. By the certificate offer context, the influence of social capital on
knowledge management has become unstable, low accumulative effect and
lack of drive power of collective action. In contrast, the states of social capital
with trust, reciprocity and exchange are manifested in marketing process and
higher reactive effect on the interaction density of social network and
collective action results.
2. In the situation of certificate offer, participation is inactive and no significant
connected relation between social capital and social learning. But,
participation and social learning is precondition to increase the higher volume of social capital in the marketing process.
3. Therefore, hence the knowledge flow of sustainable agricultural knowledge is
guided by the norm or rules made of scientific or professional authority, the
impact of social capital is visibly tending to individual interests and benefits,
and furthermore, social capital is possibly transformed into the social cost. In
contrast, the collective objective has been drived by the effort of sustainable
agricultural knowledge flow, and social capital may have developed more
effort toward public benefits. The accumulation of social capital will act as
key mechanism of substable development.
