Summary: | 近年來,有機農業在世界各地形成一種共同文化,主要是人們受到1960年代後綠色革命引入化學農業之影響,而使有機農業也漸漸成為全球在產食文化的新趨勢。台灣也於1996年正式推廣有機農業工作,啟動了台灣有機農業的時代。然而在這波趨勢下,原住民族在發展有機農業上卻面臨許多障礙,而無法順利轉型有機農業。如今,部落不僅要面對部落發展的課題,同時當有機農業做為部落發展的新趨勢時,族人又該如何突破有機農業或自然農業發展之困境,開創出部落發展的新局呢?
本論文以新竹縣尖石鄉泰雅族石磊部落為研究個案,個案結合民族知識的自然農業經驗,在當代社會中為罕見之農法,被媒體報導為台灣獨一無二之農法,而引起國內外研究者和農夫的關注,並在當代農業的社會中脫穎而出,成為有機與自然農業發展的重要指標。因此,本研究運用「行動研究」與「民族誌研究方法」的結合,透過自然農業的推廣和部落服務的具體行動,以及參與觀察、深度訪談、焦點團體等方法,來探討石磊部落在不同時期農業變遷之問題,並從歷史脈絡中重新探究傳統農業對當代社會的意義,以及探討部落如何透過基督宗教的力量,來發展出結合民族知識的自然農法經驗,這些知識如何對當代有機農業或部落發展的概念上提供那些重要的啟發。
本研究結果顯示,石磊部落結合民族知識的新興自然農業,透過教會、聖靈的支持,部落領袖和家族組織的力量,將舊有的知識調整為新的知識,而發展出創新的農法,回應了原住民族知識改變現代有機或自然農業的事實,並且在農業生產知識上超越了國家機器的宰制。同時,透過個案部落的經驗,為當代部落發展工作的經驗提供重要之建議,為國家政府以及原住民族日後推動有機農業和部落發展政策的重要參考。
=== Recently, organic agriculture has become a worldwide trend. This trend is affected by the Green Revolution in 1960s, which made organic agriculture became an innovative productive pattern. In Taiwan, even though organic agriculture had been officially promoted in 1996, it’s always very difficult for Indigenous people to transfer from conventional agriculture to organic agriculture. In nowadays, Indigenous communities are not only face the issues related to development, but also try to break through the dilemma of agricultural transformation. Thus, it’s urgent to seek the solution of above issues.
This research is a case study of a settlement of Tayal people– Quri community. The natural agriculture in Quri community integrate indigenous knowledge and organic agriculture and attracted domestic and international researchers and farmers. This research use action research and ethnography as research methods, which includes participatory observation, focus groups interviews and in-depth interviews. This study aims to explore: (1) the agricultural transformation in Quri community; (2) the meaning of traditional agriculture in contemporary society; (3) how Quri community be inspired by Christianity to develop natural agriculture; (4) how natural agriculture facilitate development of organic agriculture and Indigenous community.
The research outcomes show that the natural agriculture in Quri community, which integrate with Indigenous knowledge and be supported by Christianity, community leaders and clans, is an innovative agricultural pattern. Integrating Indigenous knowledge in natural agriculture shows that Indigenous knowledge is able to change organic agriculture and produce a new discourse of knowledge production. In the meanwhile, this case study also provide decisive experiences to present Indigenous communities’ development and government’s future agricultural policies.
