都市小學食農教育課程之素養實踐——從餐桌到土地的環境關懷

Environmental Care from Dining Table to Land: Literacy Practice of Food and Agricultural Education Courses in an Urban Primary School

臺灣的《食農教育法》於今年通過，開啟我國食農教育新篇章，象徵全民投入與支持在地農業及環境的永續發展。食農教育希冀人們了解農業與飲食的關聯性，在生活中實踐健康飲食生活，從而與土地連結、尊重生命與大自然。然而都市學校因各項限制，推動食農教育亦面臨困境；本校自103年開始，參考日本食育教學經驗及國內食農教育推展策略ABC模式，發展長時間、系統性、全校取徑的食農教育階段課程與主題式課程，帶著都市孩子們實踐自餐桌到土地的環境關懷。本研究以課程發展與實施之歷程，提出數項策略與建議，以供各校推動食農教育之參考。

“Food and Agricultural Education Act” has passed this year (2022) in Taiwan, which starting a new chapter in the Food and Agricultural Education (hereafter FAE). It symbolized the endeavor and support of whole people for the sustainable development of local agriculture and environment. The purposes of FAE are that students would understand the relationship between agriculture and diet, and put into practice healthy dietary lifestyles, so as to connect with the land and respect life and nature. However, due to various restrictions, urban schools are also facing difficulties in promoting the FAE. Since 2014, our school has developed a long-term, systematic and whole-school approach by referring to the Japanese counterpart and the ABC model of Taiwanese FAE promotion strategies, leading urban children to cultivate the environmental care from dining table to land. Based on the practical experiences, this study puts forward several suggestions for future implementations.
