Turn black beans into specialty coffee ingredients! College students of Chaoyang University of Science and Technology and farmers work together to learn Chaoyang University of Science and Technology is located in Wufeng, Taichung. Qian Weijun, director of the Department of Applied Chemistry and Healthy Agriculture and Food Center of the school, found that Baozhong is almost a no-nonsense zone between Yunlin Mailiao and the relatively prosperous Douliu; Most of the light-hearted good-neighborly projects focus on agriculture in the Mailiao area. After Chaoyang University of Science and Technology undertakes the agricultural counseling business, it hopes to pay more attention to Baozhong Township, which has been neglected for a long time, so that the goal of "turning from talent to wealth" for talented community residents can be realized . Qian Weijun said that Chen Xihe, the leader of the grain production and sales team in Baozhong, participated in their promotion activities. When Qian Weijun was preparing for the University Social Responsibility (USR) plan, he found that Baozhong’s agricultural productivity was low, and the most important thing was The motivation for production is not strong. Farmers feel that receiving fallow subsidies is better than farming income. Even if the younger generation returns to Baozhong, they will do other jobs, and their willingness to invest in farming is not high, resulting in many fields being abandoned. Qian Weijun pointed out that local farmers are not very good at selling whatever they grow, so their income is not good. For example, black beans and soybeans have to be sold to soy sauce factories through intermediary dealers, and become a fixed market and ecology. He assessed that the farmers in Baozhong Township are productive, the land area is not small, and the labor force is still there. What needs to be solved is actually the problem of production motivation. Help farmers upgrade agricultural products into food raw materials Qian Weijun took the students to Baozhong Township, about an hour's drive, and they assisted local farmers to turn black beans into different processed products. For example, black beans are ground into powder to make black bean tea, which is very good for pregnant women, but mass production has not yet been done; manufacturers have also been introduced to make exquisite noodles. In addition, black bean coffee is also developed. Qian Weijun said that people who like coffee don’t like the taste of coffee. It was very strange until the team met Zhang Boss of Baodao Coffee in Taichung South District. It was only after drinking the cup that we found the current formula, so that specialty coffee and black beans have no sense of discord, and enter the market step by step. The brewed Taiwan Qingren black beans currently sold on the online shopping shelf of Baodao Coffee are black beans produced by Youcai Village with the assistance of the Chaoyang University of Science and Technology Agricultural Advisory Group. Baodao Coffee pointed out that in terms of modern nutrition, black beans are rich in anthocyanins, which help to eliminate free radicals in the body and achieve the effect of beauty. They are organic black beans in Taiwan. Qian Weijun discussed with farmers, hoping to turn black beans into food raw materials, and the price of processed products may be higher. For example, he sold black beans for less than 30 yuan per kilogram, but sold them as food ingredients for 60 to 80 yuan per kilogram. Chaoyang University of Science and Technology also conducts organic verification. Organic black beans can be sold for more than 100 yuan, which has begun to restore the confidence of local farmers in agricultural products. The USR plan should go out of the campus to practice Qian Weijun pointed out that USR should have humanistic care and concern for the place. He found that "we need to go out." One is to enter the community and understand the local experiences and vicissitudes; the other is to introduce design related to the place element. Therefore, Chaoyang University of Science and Technology allows students to "farm and learn together" with local farmers, and take classes with local farmers, such as taking courses on disease and pest control, which are directly applied and belong to local needs; through on-site sampling, they can understand land and water quality. Qian Weijun shared USR in the compulsory course of his freshman year. A group of students heard about the case of Youcai Village and wanted to participate immediately. A marketing brochure. He said that most of the USR cases are combined with the students' special projects and the school's multi-teaching. For example, in cooperation with the School of Information Technology, through intelligent monitoring of insects, humanistic care is connected in the school, and the design of the Department of Visual Communication and the technical capabilities of information and communication are introduced. But to be able to sell agricultural products is beyond the scope of everyone. In the end, it will be combined with the leisure department, and it will go to the scope of business schools to connect to the changing needs of the agricultural community. Qian Weijun said that the whole process is really accompanied. Next, he hopes to start from Baozhong, start from several villages in Bei Baozhong, expand to Yuanchang Township, and truly implement it on the ground, from agriculture to the environment. Find the motivation to keep flipping.
