CampuSA( Campus Supported Agriculture )校園支持型農業主要是以中原大學為例, 透過中原大學已有的CampuSA校園支持型農業的雛型如社會服務課程中「社會設計學院學程」之「食養社造課」、「社區營造與民眾參與」課程、原住民專班在「原生文化」的教學實踐、「桃園學系列」通識課程之USR計劃,並結合107-1學期即將開的「食農教育」通識課程, 將CampuSA 校園支持型農業以縱向與橫向課程做整合,並在倡議CampuSA校園支持型農業的同時,發起以師生為會員認購的機制,將CampuSA校園支持型農業協同共創設計成一個學程與行動研究的方案。 透過這樣的學程與行動方案,為自己的校園打造一個可以部份自給自足兼四生(生態、生產、生活、生命)的學習生活場域。 並以校園支持型農業體驗式學習的教育來做在地連結、區域合作與共創新的在地價值, 成為帶動CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)社區支持型農業發展的軸心基地。 除此之外,也能讓年青學子們學習認識並體驗食育、農育、及永續環境的重要性; 培養健康飲食基本的識讀能力;使其消費行為,有意識的做到把關食物品質的關鍵力量; 並從產地到餐桌的學習裡, 將好的飲食文化帶入自己的日常生活, 形成一種生活的態度並身教影響給下一代子女, 讓地球好的生態環境得以永續生存下去。
Campus Supported Agriculture (CampuSA) program initiated in Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) aims to integrate the existing courses and projects into the upcoming general education of “Food and Farming Education” offered in 107-1 semester. All the existing courses that waved into “Food and Farming Education” are offered by College of Design such as “Food, Farming and Social Design” (Undergraduate Program in Social Design) , “Community Empowerment and Public Participation”(Department of Landscape Architecture) , the practicum in “Protogenic Culture” (Undergraduate Program of Design in indigenous culture) and the “Collective studies in Taoyuan” general education series courses in the University Social Responsibility (USR) projects. It is hope that the CampuSA program could be designed as an academic collaborative creation and research action by originating subscription system for membership to all faculties and students who are interested in the program in the university. By the academic package program and action plan mentioned above, it could turn the campus into a self-contained learning field for students and faculties from four aspects: ecology, production, living and life. Moreover, it could become the hub for developing the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model through connecting the academic CampuSA program with the innovative value to the local community network as well as regional corporations. In addition, the young students would not only learn the importance of food and farming education and environmental sustainability but also train their basic ability of recognizing the healthy diet. All these learning and training in the CampuSA program have a great impact on the students’ purchasing habit for food quality. Through a variety of learning of food education from field to dining table, students try to connect the good food culture with their lives and make it as a manner. They hope this manner could be extended to the next generation and keep the sustainable environment in good condition for our planet forever.
