The food security concern triggered by safety of imported US beef aims to lead this study to review and explore the policy and way of Taiwan in handing US beef import through the same issue faced by the European Union, the US and Japan. The cross-analysis of SWOT is adopted to deconstruct concern of people triggered by incomprehensive design of policy and way in order to ensure that people are free of fear. With the problem points resulted from food security concern of imported US beef of current policy, it aims to explore the policy and way of other states regarding the handling of same problem points through literature review, and to conduct induction.
Japan shares similar administrative system with Taiwan and has regular contacts in agronomic affairs with Taiwan. Taiwan and Japan face the same international contradictory situation: both rely on military protection from the US, while the US is one of the main exporting states of food products for both states. Since both states face similar political consideration on the policy of US beef import, the legislation background, supervisory system, task distribution of administrative system, security quarantine classification of imported food regarding supervision of Japan’s imported food security could be studied and explored.
Currently, government agencies in Taiwan work on their own tasks with a lack of systematic connection of policies, which is unable to solve food security problems with comprehensive measures adopted by other states. For example, food security incidents should be handled by powerful food security panel in the US. Food security panel is formed in Taiwan only for tentative tasks. The status of inflexible system, such as work on its own tasks, lack of coordination, and incomprehensive thoughts is then resumed upon little attention from the agency chief or the public opinion regarding food security.
As the state drafts major policies, it is able to establish a highly efficient government with references to entrepreneurial decision-making models. With the starting point of health requirements of people, this study aims to explore the impact of mad cow disease and rectopamine of imported US beef on human pathology, and tries to induce and summarize the impact and effect of rectopamine on human health from literature view of medical professionals, quarantine experts and animal scientists. It also aims to draft feasible strategies through SWOT analysis and strategy analysis, and separate possible strategy methods into four major categorical perspectives, such as SO Strategy, ST Strategy, WO Strategy and WT Strategy. The study aims to protect health of people and solve the food security concern over imported US beef through academic research by drafting appropriate policies with references to state conditions and government efficiency and providing research directions as references for further studies into food security.
