摘要

臺灣當代新農浪潮同時反抗也受惠於新自由主義全球化，也與歐美日的另類食農網絡運動及其生態優位的普世性論述對話。這篇論文以宜蘭友善耕作社群為關懷場域，指出此波新農浪潮的關鍵在於「農」在意義與功能上的整體性復興，也就是農義復興。而農意識的多元化來自異質行動者的多方轉譯，本文稱為農譯。具體而言，在消費端，藝文工作者使農進入城市中產階級的日常生活；在生產端，友善小農以跨物種協力生產的在地農法，使稻農與福壽螺的關係從對立轉為共生。農義復興於是有賴農文藝與農技藝工作者的多重農譯實作。在此過程中，農與非農、人與非人行動者形成既鬆散又連結的新農江湖，集體但不同調地拓展農在當代臺灣的時空性質、社會認同與經濟可能，並從中持續摸索突破當代生態與社會困境的多重路徑。

Based on fieldwork among a community of sustainable smallholder farmers self-identified as ＂friendly farmers＂, this article deals with the promises and paradoxes of a new politics of food and agriculture in Taiwan. I argue that this politics is first and foremost about the articulation of a new rationality of agriculture, which emphasizes not only the economic value of agriculture, but also its multiple functions in fostering environmental stewardship, community livelihood, local food sovereignty, and regional biodiversity. No less impressive is the fact that humans and non-humans from all walks of live have participated in various articulations of this new rationality. On the consumer end, for example, artists and writers help to re-situate agriculture in urban settings, bringing farmers' life worlds from field to table. On the production side, friendly farmers work against the green revolution legacy by choosing not to poison and exterminate the invasive golden apple snails. Instead, they hand pick snails and learn to transform the relationship between rice farmers and snails from one of opposition to that of collaboration. In this process, the open-ended assemblage that these farmers and non-farmers, human and non-human actants create, has collectively expanded the social horizon, cultural significance, and economic viabilities of agriculture in contemporary Taiwan.
