In the fields of Taiwan, it is common to see smoke and experience a pungent smell caused by the burning of straw. Traditional beliefs among farmers suggest that burning straw can kill harmful pests and enhance soil fertility. However, open burning of straw releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), resulting in air pollution that severely damages the living environment and poses risks to public health.
GOTREND cares about local environmental protection and participates in the "Fresh Air Nurtures the Earth" initiative organized by the International Nature Restoration Action Association (INRAA). Through sponsorship, we have donated straw decomposing bacteria for 20 hectares of farmland.
▶ Expected to reduce 180 metric tons of CO2.
On June 30, 2023, in the Fuli area of Hualien, Taiwan (a renowned rice-growing region) , we distributed the purchased straw decomposing bacteria free of charge to farmers while promoting education. During the event, we used drones to spray a large area of rice fields with the decomposing bacteria.
Through the collaboration between businesses and philanthropic associations, we strive to make Taiwan the first in Asia to cease the burning of straw.
Let us cherish the land and protect the Earth!
