學校/單位名稱：
東海大學

計畫類型：
萌芽型(B類)
計畫理念：
大學社會責任(USR)消極的應解決社會面臨的問題，積極的更需對未來社會發展的永續方向提供建言。東海大學社會責任計畫B類名為「誠食夥伴、好氣社區」，主要著眼於改善台中地區的食農教育、空氣汙染，目標是找回食安與空汙問題的公共性，透過課程與有系統的培力計畫，增進大眾對永續環境的了解，將具有健康意識的消費者轉為投入公民參與的積極公民，共同設法解決在地民眾對農食復興的期待，及空氣汙染的焦慮。
The utmost purposes of university social responsibility (USR) are to passively resolve specific social problems, and to actively advise a future direction for sustainability. The topic of USR program B in Tunghai University is “Authentic food and clean air in partner communities”, which focuses environment sustainability based on the concerns of food security and air cleanness. Since the air pollution has been the fatal problem nationwide, our main purpose is to empower and motivate the citizens for policy participation.
計畫簡介：
我們提出名為「誠食夥伴、好氣社區」的大學社會責任實踐計畫，對應校務發展的生態永續面「有機共生、城市綠洲」的推動方向，關注社區支持型農業、創造團結經濟、重視食安與空汙問題的需求等生態永續問題。以「在地連結」為核心精神，並將人文關懷與協助場域解決區域資源等問題之概念，融入課程創新、服務等，透過師生共同參與和資源整合應用，藉此增進學校與地區資源的連結，以及幫助場域解決問題。相關議題聚焦在大臺中地區居民對推動社群支持型農業、創造團結經濟的同時，重視食農教育、食安與空汙問題的需求與覺醒，進一步跨域合作，尋求改善之道。
In order to empower the public on food and agriculture education, accompanied with air clean campaign, we establish a platform for the university, community and government on multidisciplinary cooperation and meaningful conversation. University students and teachers, the public thus may garner consensus on the platform through interdisciplinary courses and variety of workshops. The USR program B in THU is supportive to nearby community and corporate to join our team and take actions on their own initiative.
計畫場域：
臺中市西屯區、龍井區、大雅區
欲解決問題：
東海大學與附近同處大肚山周圍的社區，十幾年以來因為工業區的開發導致空氣常受汙染，住民深感困擾。另外本地特有的紅土因為不夠肥沃，也使得許多農地處於廢棄的景況，衍生出社區環境髒亂、治安死角等問題。這其實是人與環境失去了連結，呈現在對農業的輕視，以及恣意排放的廢棄物。我們認為工業化社會使食物、土地、水…淪為可買賣商品，致眾人僅知價格、不知價值，讓人與人、人與自然之間的關係深陷疏離。本計畫嘗試建立合作平台，與在地居民、大學夥伴、地方政府與產業資源，設法回應在地民眾對農食復興的期待及空氣汙染的焦慮。
Tunghai University and the nearby community around Dadu Mountain have been polluted by the development of industrial zones for decades. In addition, because the domestic red clay is not fertile, it results in many agricultural land to be in an abandoned situation, which leads to sanitary and security problems. This is because of a broken linkage between people and the environment, presented in the contempt for agriculture and wastes arbitrarily discharged. Food, land, water…of our environment has become tradable commodity in an industrialized society, and people only knows its price instead of its value.
The project attempts to establish a platform for cooperation with local residents, university partnership, local authorities and industrial resources to respond the expectations of local people for the revival of agriculture and the anxiety of air pollution.
解決方案：
本計畫以食農與空汙防制的議題切入，從發展課程開始，採由下而上的方式，將校內老師正在從事或發展的項目加以彙整；進一步透過政府資源的挹注，整合資源、提升計畫效能而達成綜效。實際執行面上，培力年輕、跨領域人力資源的投入，使友善環境意識的產業被活化；建構大學/政府/社區/團體間的對話與合作平台，與在地居民、聯盟大學夥伴、地方政府與產業資源，分享資源與資訊，以逐步喚起民眾對人與環境問題的關切。
The project is based on development of courses platform in a bottom-up manner to link teachers in the school. Moreover, the effectiveness of courses can be integrated, promoted and upgraded through the recruitment of government resources. On implementation level, we empower young generations with interdisciplinary to create future human resources for environmental-friendly industries. We have also constructed a cooperation platform for universities, communities, NPOs, and local authorities to share resources and information. Promisingly public concerns to the environment can arise gradually.
未來願景：
我們將(一)建立課程與活動平台，培力校內外師生。(二)持續凝聚社區民眾與在地小農，重建生產與消費者間的關係，使中臺灣等在地友善農法能永續經營。(三)布建大肚山周圍空汙偵測網，推動公民參與和在地研究，提出改善計畫與成果宣導。(四)提升學術產出、社區參與、公共議題等決策支援。
期許三至五年後東海大學成為地方環境議題的樞紐，帶領中部地區的民眾與在地關心環境永續的公/民團體，持續地關注和參與友善環境的農食育及空汙防制行動，共同承擔環境覺醒議題之發展和經營。
First, we have organized a platform for courses to train teachers and students in universities. Second, we will continue to unite the community and local farmers in middle Taiwan to support environmental-friendly agriculture. Third, a network for air pollution detection around Dadu Mountain has been established to promote citizen participation and related research. Fourth, to improve academic output, community participation, public issues and other support for policy-making.
We expect Tunghai University will become the link of the local community, leading people in central Taiwan who are concerned about environmental sustainability to participate in the actions continuously.
