Recently, disputes over ground-based photovoltaics have been rife, with fires raging everywhere, affecting the rights and interests of farmers and fishermen and the ecological environment. Chen Chi-chung, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, held a press conference today to put out the fire. He announced that all cases of Taiwan Sugar cutting trees and planting electricity have been returned, and that the laws and regulations governing agricultural land planting will be amended to tighten controls on land changes and non-agricultural uses, so as to implement the spirit of agricultural land use.

Although the council of agriculture has made a high-profile pledge to farm land, the relevant laws and regulations are not entirely under the jurisdiction of the council of agriculture, but under the jurisdiction of the ministry of economy and the ministry of interior. chen jizhong said that he would propose amendments to the law to other ministries and commissions."they fully agree with the policies we announced." In the past, however, the Council of Agriculture also vowed to deal with illegal factories on farmland, promising to report and dismantle them immediately. However, because its responsibilities involve inter-ministerial committees, the Council of Agriculture cannot reverse them with its own hands.

Cai Huixun, director of the Earth Citizens Foundation, who is concerned about the development of green electricity, said that he was sure that the Council of Agriculture would make a clear policy declaration, and hoped that other ministries would follow suit. The Ministry of Economic Affairs should announce the "environmental inspection mechanism" as soon as possible. Cai stressed that in addition to amending the law to end the chaos, the central government should put forward a higher level inventory and evaluation of how much photovoltaic power Taiwan needs. Cai Huixun stressed that only by guiding the industry to the right place can the pressure on farmland fish farms be reduced.

Photoelectric invasion of farming and fishing villages is becoming more and more chaotic (picture/upstream and downstream, photography/wind)."Livestock and electricity symbiosis" is promoted first. The rooftop photovoltaic potential of agriculture can reach 4GW.

Chen Jizhong stressed that there are three prerequisites for the development of agricultural green energy: "it cannot affect the rights and interests of farmers and fishermen, it cannot affect the development of agriculture and fisheries, and it cannot have an impact on the ecological environment." Therefore, it will strengthen the promotion from the most uncontroversial livestock roof."There are more than 15,000 livestock farms in China, covering an area of 6000 hectares. At present, 927MW has been promoted, and it can be increased to 3 GW in the next three or four years."

Cai Shengfu, director of the Planning Department, added that with the roof of the packaging site for other agricultural food industries and the roof of the indoor recycling facility, the total roof type target should have the potential to reach 4 GW.

And the most questioned Taiwan sugar "cut trees to plant electricity" case, the Internet spread Pingtung flat afforestation will cut millions of trees to plant green electricity, Chen Chi Chung said firmly,"That is not true, we did not cut a tree."

He said that the Forestry Bureau will complete the survey of 13,768 hectares of afforestation status within two months, when it will divide three areas in detail, already forested, habitat ecological value will be maintained, suitable for farming can be cut down trees to restore agricultural use, finally "some in the coastal, low-lying areas, bad geographical location, not suitable for agricultural production, will consider making it solar photovoltaic, during which we will open."

Chen Jizhong stressed that the Council of Agriculture will promote green energy policies while also taking into account industry, farmers, fishermen and the ecological environment. (Photo/Lin Chi-yang) Chen Chi-chung: Taiwan Sugar's agricultural and electric symbiosis applications have all been rejected. Huantuan: Just returning documents is not enough. It must be legalized.

Chen Chi-chung also clarifies that in March of this year, the Agriculture and Food Administration rejected all the applications for agro-electricity symbiosis projects in Pingtung and Chiayi, Pingtung edamame producing areas, and Tainan organic vegetable areas, which Taiwan Sugar had previously submitted. "The Council of Agriculture will strictly control it so as to avoid stigmatization of green electricity."

However, Chou Ke-jen, director of the Blue Tungkang Creek Conservation Association, who led the opposition to Taiwan Sugar's tree-cutting and electricity-planting plan in Pingtung, questioned,"The Council of Agriculture is only returning the case to review, not the end." Because that piece of land is still farmland, Taiwan Sugar will continue to apply for it. In the future, if it is replaced by another chairman of the Agricultural Committee, it may pass."

Zhou Keren pointed out that if it is not transformed into a system with statutory norms, these forests will still be unprotected. He believes that trees with good forest appearance should be classified as permanent security forests, and trees with bad forest appearance should not be judged only by appearance, because some trees emphasize the ecological function of attracting bees and birds. "the council of agriculture should not only treat the symptoms, but also respond to public opinion." taiwan sugar corporation's subsidies for afforestation in the next 20 years will soon expire, and it is impossible for taiwan sugar corporation to allow large areas of land to go without income.

Agricultural land change to do photoelectricity, agricultural committee: amend the law to tighten the control

As regards agricultural land for electricity planting, applications for conversion of agricultural land or permission to convert it into photovoltaic panels have increased dramatically in recent years. Green farmland has been transformed into gray and black photovoltaic panels, which has not only led to the loss of total agricultural land, but also damaged agricultural production, resulting in the fragmentation of agricultural land and the destruction of rural landscape integrity.

Today, the Agriculture Committee proposed a solution to this problem, which will amend the "Key Points for the Examination of the Approval of Agricultural Land Use Changes by Agricultural Authorities" and tighten control over all kinds of agricultural land planting patterns, including changes and permitted uses. And specific agricultural areas and aquaculture production areas shall not be changed to photovoltaic.

At present, the change of seed electricity on farmland is divided into: less than 2 hectares, 2-30 hectares and more than 30 hectares. Under 2 hectares and 2-30 hectares are reviewed by local governments, and over 30 hectares by central review. In addition to the changes, the current regulations also allow 660m2 of photovoltaic power to be used on farmland in general agricultural areas.

In order to promote green energy, some local governments have approved a large number of applications for agricultural land conversion and permission to plant electricity. According to the preliminary estimate of the Council of Agriculture, the total area of farmland conversion cases in Taiwan has exceeded 300 hectares, and the area under review is closer to 2000 hectares. Nearly 1,000 660m2 cases have been approved, covering an area of more than 300 hectares, and more than 200 cases are under review. However, some local government officials privately said that the area of change in a single county in the south has exceeded 300 hectares. this shows that the figures of the council of agriculture are seriously underestimated.
