Today many farmers are making the transformation into organic farming, but with the added effort and time required to tend crops, the price of organic food often far exceeds that of conventionally produced agricultural products. Using “Non-toxic Agriculture” methods, which include the safe use of chemicals and a deep grasp of metabolism, a group of farmers in Pingtung’s Jiuru Township is growing chemical-free crops.

For this year’s Your Shoot event in Pingtung, PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform teamed up with North Pingtung Community College, Jiuru Farmers' Association and various other organizations. At the event, the 50-plus participating citizen journalists were given the lowdown on how small local farmers expertly use chemicals to control plant pests and disease and produce crops that are certified free from pesticide residues. As with all Your Shoot events, the participating citizen journalists made countless excellent reports, capturing all the stories of these industrious small farmers on camera.
