At the beginning of this year, Business Weekly interviewed Yang Rumen, who recently built a kiln in his Tadaocheng Agricultural Park, turning the local red bean soup, which is simmered and charcoal, into a force for fallow cultivation, and using the most direct way to challenge the hot potato in Taiwan's agriculture for many years.

This bowl of delicious red bean soup uses green vines of Kaohsiung No. 9 red beans. Three years ago, we met this group of lovely farmers. For the sake of human health and environmental sustainability, they insisted on not using herbicides and conscientiously planted the highest quality red beans on the ground. Each one is as big as the one-dollar Chiang Kai-shek, and it has been supported by many consumers. Later, we also introduced it to the Confucians, so that more power could be poured into these lands that had been neglected for a long time.

From the original sale of a pack, now the Confucian family has to further increase the demand through fresh cooking. If this method works, 200 hectares of fallow land should be activated in 3-5 years. Therefore, do not underestimate a bowl of kiln-roasted red bean soup, a cup of fragrant soybean milk, and a box of nutritious sprouts. This is what Jane Goodall said: "eating can change the world; food is power." when consumers choose to buy beneficial food through consumption power, it is to support farmers who grow crops in the right way, which is tantamount to changing the world with moderate revolutionary forces. Looking forward to the future of Taiwan's agriculture, returning to the scene of abundant crops in the early years is definitely a way to stick to it.

"now the red bean soup launched by Yang Rumen to save fallow farming is just like the initial stage of the Taiwan Housewives' Union Consumer Co-operative 20 years ago. Someone has to come out and do something and find ways to change it." Liao Yiwen, co-founder of green rattan
