The Story of Grass Hope Taiwan and Mr. Wu
Mr. Wu is an experienced farmer who lives in the Yangmingshan mountain at Taipei, Taiwan. Before joining Grass Hope Taiwan Organization, he performed the traditional farming method, which involves the use of pesticides. However, the children who study in the elementary school by the field of Mr. Wu suffered from allergic reaction because of the pesticides.
In order to protect both the children and the land, the parents in the school founded Grass Hope Taiwan. At first, they met a lot of obstacles and difficulties since Mr. Wu was not willing to convert to natural farming. He had farmed in his own way for almost 40 years, and nothing went wrong; changing to natural farming will change his lifestyle dramatically.
However, the members of Grass Hope Taiwan didn’t give up their plan. They went into the farmland of Mr. Wu and helped him in the farm. One can only understand others by putting themselves in other’s position; through helping Mr. Wu to farm, the parents started to know Mr. Wu better. Their action and determination moved Mr. Wu, he promised to change his farming method.
The story of Grass Hope Taiwan and Mr. Wu proves to us that the balance point between nature protection and economic growth is achievable. Through performing natural farming, both children and environment are being protected. Today, we are proud to share this story so that more people can understand the benefits created by nature farming!
