摘要

西方農業地理學發展從戰後至今，歷經傳統、實證、行為、政治經濟取向轉變，分別關注農業土地利用、空間結構與區位、農民行為、農食鏈等議題，本研究依此四面向作為國內農業地理進展與國外研究之對話。研究發現國內研究仍聚焦於農業土地利用議題探討，偏向於實徵主義，與西方農業地理研究現況有所落差，其他議題研究逐漸能與社會理論接軌但仍缺乏與理論間對話與分析深度。本研究建議：農業地理研究應著重方法論與理論的適時更新，以奠基研究紮實度並能與國外研究對話。另一方面，農業地理研究應能呼應社會實際運作，解決社會問題，兼具研究與行動面向，揭露與解決臺灣農業處境與農民之不平等現況。

Since the end of World War II, the study of agriculture geography has experienced several changes in its research approach and concentration. In a chronological order, traditional, positivistic, behavioral, and political economy approaches have been adapted to study issues related to land use, spatial structure, location, farmers and agro-food chains. Based on the four types of methodology, this study aims to compare and analyze the development of agricultural studies in Taiwan with that of the West. Results showed that, local researchers tended to take the traditional approach to study land use. This appears to lag behind what goes on in the West today. Moreover, while studies on other subjects in Taiwan caught on the current trends, they lacked solid theoretical basis and in-depth analyses. Therefore, this study suggests that researchers of agriculture geography should improve their methodology and theoretical basis frequently, so that they can render more solid research results and exchange ideas with their western counterparts on an equal footing. In addition, agriculture geography studies should not only contribute to the accumulation of knowledge in the academia, but should be able to resolve social problems, such as the dire circumstances of the agricultural sector in Taiwan and the unfair treatment that farmers are facing today.
