院長的話

虎生很榮幸於2017年8月承接為本院服務的職務,任重道遠,定將竭心盡力,為本院發展做出最大的貢獻。衡諸當前總體環境情勢,農業正面臨經濟面、社會面、生態面與政治面多重挑戰,包括:全球性氣候變遷、自然資源短缺、糧食供給失衡、經貿自由化、新興國家中產階級興起等國際共通情勢;以及臺灣必需面對之自然環境劣化、糧食自給率偏低、人口結構改變、企業發展規模有限、消費者需求多元化、國家教育及農業科技預算投入有限,以及知識與新世代型產業尚待扶植等挑戰。

另一方面,上述挑戰也帶來國際對生態服務、資源永續發展、糧食安全與自給、綠色與生物經濟發展的關懷與投入,更在資通訊、物聯、大數據、人工智慧,區塊鏈及新世代生物科技的快速發展與跨領域應用下,農業與生態環境科技與產業發展備受重視,成為各國的主要發展趨勢與契機。

在教育發展上,國際高等教育呈現教學科技智能與多元化、跨領域化、跨國化、產學研創新鏈結化等等的倍速發展趨勢,國內又面臨人口老化、少子化、產學連結不足、教育與研究資源短缺的困境。

除上述的國內外環境的情勢外,本校及我們學院更面臨國際與中國大學激烈競爭、國內同儕校院的積極發展與挑戰、高等教育人才資源停滯與競爭、及教學研究經費受限等諸多的挑戰。

雖然國內外的挑戰嚴峻,但在國際之農業與生態環境科技與產業發展漸成主流的大趨勢下,前景樂觀而充滿機會。我們生農學院更具有學生來源與資質相對優良,學院內外之專業領域多元豐富、完整,教研師資人才優秀…等的優勢,如能持續掌握趨勢與整合優勢,積極爭取與創造機會,發展前景定然樂觀。虎生也會在歷任院長及師生們辛苦建立的基礎上,積極推動包括:創新教學與學生職能發展、提升社會與生態關懷教育、厚植前瞻學術發展量能、規劃跨領域團隊、爭取政策型整合型計畫、推動產學研跨領域與跨機構合作平台、建置科技傳播平台、及積極推動國際連結等重要項目。

2018年將是臺灣大學創校90周年,也是我們生農學院90設立周年,雖然面對著各種客觀與主觀環境的挑戰與危機,但是危機往往就是機會、就是轉機。一如我們的校歌所提示的”…那百折不饒的作風,定使我們一切事業都成功”。為國家社會培育優秀的人才、建立永續的生態與農業發展體系、及增進人類的福祉等等,就是我們的”事業”。虎生敬邀請我們生農學院師生們,本於百折不饒的精神與作風,彼此共勉,共同努力之。

Dean’s message

Welcome to webpage of the College of Bioresources & Agriculture!

It is with great honor that I have held the position of Dean since August 2017. The road towards national and international success of research and technology for agriculture and sustainable development of bioresources may be long and arduous; but I will spare no effort to contribute to the betterment of the college, and play the leading role to coordinate and support all faculty members and students aiming to improve mankind and our living environment, especially as our increasingly global world faces profound challenges calling for agricultural solutions. The agriculture sector, whether overseas or in Taiwan, is facing multiple socio-economic, ecological, and political challenges. On the international level, climate change, shortages in natural resources, uneven distribution of food, the impact of free trade, and the rise of the middle class in emerging countries, are all pressing issues that call for inter-disciplinary research collaboration to address these problems. On the domestic level, the worsening natural environment, low food self-sufficiency ratio, changes in the composition of the country’s population, limited scale of enterprise development, diversification of consumers’ needs, lack of government funding for higher education institutes and agricultural technology, and the need to better facilitate knowledge-intensive industries and more advanced technology, are also challenges that require our attention.

Nonetheless, challenges also come with opportunities. To better address these issues, the international community has devoted numerous efforts to the development and management of ecosystem services, sustainable use of resources, food security, and food self-sufficiency to support the development of a green economy and bio-economy. Moreover, the rapid growth of information and communication technology, the Internet of Things, big data, A.I., blockchain, and bio-technology, has not only opened up many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations for the advancement of agricultural, ecological and environmental technologies, but also enabled agriculture to become the most important area for the strategic development plans of most countries and international alliances.

Education development is facing profound challenges such as competition from higher education institutes in China and other countries, and local economic stresses due to an aging population, low birthrates, limited collaborations among industries and universities, a shortage of human resources and research funding. Nonetheless we are confident and positive against all the challenges, because our college possesses many predominant advantages including multi-oriented courses blending professional knowledge with analytical and practical skills, outstanding academic and research staff, and high-quality students. Our goals are the cross-cutting development of academia and technology, integrated with innovative, diversified, and internationalized training for students. We will continuously develop and integrate our advantages, actively strive for academic excellence, and create opportunities to promote the all-rounded development of our college.

Standing upon the well-established foundation built up by the predecessor Deans and all the professors and students over the years, I will actively promote important tasks including the development of innovative education, the betterment of students’ career planning, the enhancement of social and ecological care education, the capability strengthening of forward-looking academic development, the planning of interdisciplinary teams, the striving for integrated and policy-supported research projects, the promotion of industry-university research collaborative platforms, the establishment of technological communication platforms, and the active promotion of connection with other international institutes.

2018 marks the 90th anniversary of both NTU and the College of Bioresources and Agriculture. Although we are now faced with various challenges and crises in both the objective and subjective environments, such adversity is often an opportunity or a turning point. Just as our school anthem reminds us, “Our perseverance is the key success factor that contributes to all our achievements.” It is this college’s privilege to nurture outstanding talents for the country, to establish a sustainable system for ecological and agricultural development, and to enhance human welfare and well-being. I sincerely invite all professors and students from the College of Bioresources and Agriculture to stay true to NTU’s spirit of perseverance, to work with concerted efforts, and encourage one another as we move toward a brighter future.

Prof. Huu-Sheng Lur, Dean of College of Bioresources and Agriculture, NTU
