At the beginning of 2017, the Education Bureau of Taichung Municipal Government launched the "106th ─ 108Campus Food and Farmer Education Master Plan" and signed a cooperation memorandum with the local NGO "Housewives Alliance Environmental Protection Foundation Taichung Branch", which gave birth to the master plan. A total of 73 schools participated, accounting for more than 1/5 of the municipal high and primary schools, and this year (2018) reached 128. it can be said that it is rare in Taiwan at the county and municipal level. A large-scale plan to promote food and agriculture education on campus with a high budget has also opened the first model of cooperation between Taiwan's public sector education system and private NGO to promote food and agriculture education.

It is well known that there are many administrative burdens on primary and secondary school campuses, so at the beginning of the plan, we insist on the implementation of "rewards" rather than "compulsory" implementation, and do not want the imams to experience the fun and profound meaning of food farmer education. there will be unnecessary rebound and pressure, let alone check the effectiveness of the promotion by the way of evaluation, which is common on the education scene, only the end-of-term coaching visits. At the beginning of the master plan, through workshops, apprenticeship visits in other counties and cities, and summer practical studies, participating teachers were shown to take a friendly environment as the core value, as well as the possibility of various promotions. on the contrary, it attracts and encourages the enthusiasm of front-line teachers.

Summing up the experience of the first year, we have seen five different ways of promoting food farmers' education in the past. The following arrangement is shared with all walks of life.
