When was the last time you went abroad?
When was the last time you gasped a big breath of air? When was the last time you had a good drink with your friends?
The epidemic in the past two years may stalled time and slowed our tempo in life, but our nature of reaching dreams and our instinct to pursue a better life are never defeated.
Along with the vaccine coverage and lifting of the Covid-19 alert level, we should move faster than usual to make up for the lost two years.

Dream bigger than ever!

jui ting Wei

Farmer
I’ve got support to integrate IoT and blockchian technology with my rice production, making the process of a grain of rice from growing, including fertilization, irrigation and temperature changes, to being sold to market totally transparent and traceable to everyone in the world. My branded rice “Rice Valley” has been exported to places such as Oman, Hong Kong, Los Angeles. In order to reduce the conflict between farmers and wildlife, I use kites and scarecrows resembling eagles and falcons to drive out wild ducks and birds. I also promote multiple environmental education curriculums to communities and schools which evoke more people to value the relationship between agricultural production and the environment. I continue to make good use of technologies and hold the spirits of sustainability and green environments and was nominated for the Award of Environmental Education by the local government, selected as 2020 Winner of The Gen.T List, and 2021 10 Outstanding Young Persons Awards.
