Introduction:

Will it be possible to integrate farming, technology, and living into a holistic eco village? Can technology be used to reduce alienation and to restore the intimacy between human and land? Can we develop a community where farmers and consumers support each other? In the forum, Chen will share his desire to redirect technology for eco-living. Chen will illustrate some preliminary achievements in the community-supported agriculture (CSA) experiment, as well as the goals to integrate technology and farming. You are welcome to join the discussion.
