| 摘要: | 本研究旨在了解與分析秀明自然農法的農耕方式與其他不同農耕方式的差異性，從中探討秀明自然農法和土地與環境之間的關係，及銷售管道的建立和農夫的生活型態，期待能提供欲進入農業領域者有所依循，並對台灣農業未來的發展，提供一條可長可久之路。 本研究針對台東縣從事秀明自然農法的農夫為研究對象，採長期觀察法、深度訪談及文獻探討加以分析。台東縣是目前從事秀明農法密度最高的一個縣，自2006年由林義隆先生引進後，已經歷將近六年的時間，這六年來他們遵循秀明自然農法的核心價值「尊重自然、順應自然」努力耕作，他們更堅持不噴農藥、不施肥料、自家採種、土地連作及適地適種，這種農耕方式幾乎和大自然融為一體，是一種友善環境，親愛土地的行為。但是，面對昆蟲肆虐、小鳥啄食，雜草叢生和土地貧瘠等問題時他們的處理方式，將在本文探討。 本研究初步發現，一般人對於秀明自然農法不噴農藥、不施任何肥料(包括有機肥)能否種出漂亮農產品都抱持著高度懷疑態度，甚至對農產品的外觀，也停留在又醜又小，甚至有蟲吃過痕跡的印象，但事實證明，台東縣秀明農夫堅守秀明自然農法的核心價值，農地經過六年自行排毒，已恢復潔淨狀態，農作物也已適應本身土質及環境，產量已能媲美慣行農法。像這兩年多位自然農法農夫的枇杷、鳳梨、釋迦、竹筍和芭樂等都有很好的產量與產值，農產品更是美味、健康、安全、有能量。
The main purpose of this thesis is to understand and analyze the difference between Hsiuming Natural Farming Method and other farming methods. It also discusses the connections of land, environment and Hsiuming Natural Farming Method and the buildup of sales channels and the life style of farmers. Hope it can provide the solution for those who want to participate in agriculture field and make some contributions to the development of Taiwan agriculture. This research is based on the farmers who use Hsiuming Natural Farming Method in Taitung County by long term observations, interviewing and literatures reference. Hsiuming Natural Farming Method used in Taitung County is highest in Taiwan. After it was introduced by Yi-Long Lin in 2006, it has experienced six years. In this period, they insisted to execute the core value of Hsiuming Natural Farming Method, respect and orientate the nature. They work hard and insist not to use pesticides and fertilizers. They crop by themselves, plant same crop uninterrupted and choose appropriate planting. This farming method is seemed as a harmony with nature. It is an environment-friendly method and respecting the land behavior. However, how they overcome the challenges of insect pests, birds eating, weeding and soil fertility reducing, we will discuss in the thesis. We have some preliminary discovering as follows. Most people doubt if it could have good crop without using pesticides and any type of fertilizers, including organic fertilizers, even have the impression of small and ugly appearance. But in fact, after the Taitung farmers’ insistence of applying the core value of Hsiuming Natural Farming Method for six years, the land have already could excluded the toxic themselves and recover to the state of clean. The crops have already suited to the land and environment and the yield can compete with the conventional farming method. In recent two years, there are some farmers who applying Hsiuming Natural Farming Method, planting loquats, pineapples, sugar apples, bamboo shoots and guavas, they all get good, tasty, safety, healthy and energetic crops. |
