AgriLearn Exchange-An Improvement Platform Responds to Climate Change

Abstract

Abstract With climate change, various part of Taiwan is facing food problems caused by climate change. The oversupply situation has caused market prices to plummet. The low prices make the cost of harvesting no longer economical, farmers would rather process crops into fertilizer than sell it to the market. However, food is a gift given by nature, food should not be waste due to external factors.

Therefore, we hope to design a platform to serve as a bridge to purchase agricultural products from farmers and deliver them to rural schools to reduce the surplus of vegetables. At the same time, we hope to promote our philosophy through education and let children understand how precious food is.

What we want to do is setting up a platform to tackle surplus agricultural products. We'll buy unsold or sharply discounted products and send them to schools in remote areas. Also, we'll make videos of this process and show them to urban elementary students using VR technology. This lets students see how food is made and understand its value. This helps reduce waste and balances resources between urban and rural areas. It also educates students and achieves a triple-win effect.
