Taichung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (Taichung DARES), together with other DARES, participated in the works related to promotion and evaluation of ecosystem services under environmentally-friendly agriculture of the project of National Green Network. The objectives were development and extension of environmentally-friendly agricultural techniques, establishment of friendly cultivation environment, conservation of ecological function of ecosystem and biodiversity, and development of mutual benefits between the ecological environment and the local featured agriculture. Taichung DARES established 'Working Circle for the National Ecological Conservation Green Network of Taichung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station', with 'mountain', 'shallow mountain', 'plain', and 'coast' working circles for the project. In mountainous area, agricultural techniques adapted to local ecological environment were extended to indigenous tribes of Renai Township, Nantou County. Integrated pest management strategies were prospective to be used in orchards in shallow mountains. Near farmlands of Changhua plain, biological resources were surveyed and habitats were created for biodiversity. In addition, promotion of green tourism including agricultural production, ecosystem, local community, and young farmer's friendly farmlands was interconnected at the coastal region of Changhua. We aimed to organize the results of the project through the host of 'Symposium of Development of Featured Agriculture in Central Taiwan under the National Green Network'. The efforts are expected to benefit the conservation of ecosystem, friendly cultivation environment, and local featured agriculture under the National Green Network.
