光合菌農業社群的知識學習與共創

The Knowledge Learning and Co-creation of the Photosynthetic Bacteria Agricultural Community

光合菌農業社群的形成與發展是台灣社會這幾年新興的一場草根公民農學運動。本文試著在全球化的語境中，回顧各地的小農如何喪失話語權與主體性，而後經由不同路徑與方式的社群重建過程，逐步找回農民與土地的共生關係。論文接著梳理了自2018年以來這場行動的緣起、脈絡與歷程，藉由微生物光合菌在田間現場的導入與應用，引動了更多農民走向永續農業之路。在這個共學社群裡，農民與生物科學家、社造協作者、大學團隊共同促進這一連串互為主體、「共作知識（mutual-making knowledge）」的學習行動，發展出了不同於以往的農業知識生產模式與學習方法。
在學習與共作的過程中，農民在農田、市場與生活中的存有型態逐步改變，他們的身體、身形、時間感、空間感、土壤觀亦有極大的翻轉。農民們逐漸把被市場與技術工具化的身體與技藝找回來，重新掌握發言的主動權，重建了自身的主體性，儘管市場與經濟的考量仍舊影響著他們的農業技術與思維，但已不是唯一主導原則。農民們從理性計算開始，逐步進入到同時兼顧生產時間與生態時間的丈量方式，藉由微生物光合菌的知識學習、交流與田間應用，建立了人與物，人與人全新的社群形式，創造了具有反身性動能的實踐關係。

The formation and development of the photosynthetic bacteria agricultural community is a grassroots citizen agricultural movement that has emerged in Taiwan in recent years. This paper attempts to review how small farmers have lost their voice and subjectivity in the context of globalization, and then gradually found back the symbiotic relationship between farmers and land through the process of community rebuilding in different paths and ways. This study then combs through the origin, context, and process of this action since 2018. By introducing and applying photosynthetic bacteria in the field, this action has driven more farmers to the path of sustainable agriculture. In this learning community, farmers, biologists, community builders, and university teams work together to promote a series of learning actions of“mutual-making knowledge”that achieves inter-subjectivity, and to develop different agricultural knowledge production models and learning methods from the past.
In the process of learning and collaboration, farmers’modes of existence in the fields, markets, and lives are gradually changing. Their bodies, shapes, sense of time, sense of space, and view on the soil have also undergone a great transformation. Farmers gradually regain their bodies and skills that have been commodified by the market and technology, regain the initiative to speak, and rebuild their subjectivity. Although market and economic considerations still affect their agricultural technology and thinking, they are no longer the only guiding principles. Farmers start from rational calculation and gradually enter a way of measuring that considers both production time and ecological time. Through the learning, exchange, and field application of the knowledge of photosynthetic bacteria, they have established a new form of community between people and things and created a practical relationship with reflexive dynamism.
